Supreme Court of Delaware

Rashie Harris, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

April 8, 20152015 Del. LEXIS 183

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Harris's motion for a new trial, holding that the prompt show-up identification at the barbershop was not unnecessarily suggestive and did not create a likelihood of irreparable misidentification. The court also held that, even assuming a due-process violation, admission of the identification evidence was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the remaining evidence of guilt was overwhelming.
