Supreme Court of Delaware
Service v. State
March 17, 2015
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the judgment after rejecting Service's challenges to the admission of late-produced drug-testing reports, the delay preceding trial, and the denial of dismissal under Superior Court Criminal Rule 48(b). The court held that the trial judge acted within its discretion by granting a continuance rather than excluding the reports, and that the delay did not substantially prejudice Service under either the constitutional speedy-trial analysis or Rule 48(b).
