Supreme Court of Delaware

Rondaiges A. Harper, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

August 13, 20152015 Del. LEXIS 376

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware held that first-degree carjacking is completed when the offender takes possession or control of the vehicle, not when a victim held in the vehicle is released. Because Harper joined after the carjacking was complete, the evidence did not support his carjacking, kidnapping, or conspiracy convictions, and the court reversed all convictions and remanded. No separate opinions were filed.
