Supreme Court of Delaware

Lowman v. State

August 28, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Lowman’s convictions after concluding that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by denying a mistrial based on a witness’s unsolicited reference to a drug-for-firearm transaction. The reference was isolated, the evidence of firearm possession was strong, and the prompt curative instruction adequately mitigated any prejudice. There were no separate opinions.
