Blunt v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Blunt's convictions for weapons, assault, attempted assault, and prison-contraband offenses. It held that sufficient evidence supported findings that the wooden shank was a deadly weapon, that Blunt intended to cause serious physical injury, and that he knowingly possessed prison contraband. The court also held that the prosecutor's closing-argument statements did not constitute prejudicial misconduct requiring a new trial.
