Supreme Court of Delaware

Elmore v. State

June 9, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed Elmore’s convictions for possessing a firearm and ammunition as a prohibited person. It held that the evidence permitted a rational factfinder to conclude that Elmore constructively possessed the firearm and ammunition because he identified their precise location, had placed them there, and requested their return. The Court also held that physical availability and accessibility at the time of arrest were not required to establish constructive possession.
