Kesler Stevens, Defendant-Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff-Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Stevens’s DUI conviction, holding that the trial evidence was sufficient for a rational fact finder to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that he drove while impaired by alcohol. The court also rejected his equal-protection challenge because DUI and Reckless Driving—Alcohol Related require different elements, and clarified that the latter is a penalty provision rather than a separate lesser-included offense. No separate opinions were provided.
