Supreme Court of Delaware

Snipes v. State

March 12, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed Snipes's convictions for possession of a firearm and ammunition by a person prohibited. It held that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by denying a mistrial after a witness referred three times to a prior trial because the comments were vague, unlikely to prejudice the jury, the evidence was strong, and the defense declined a curative instruction.
