Supreme Court of Delaware
Turner v. State
November 9, 2015
Summary
The Court affirmed Max Turner's convictions and sentence after concluding that the Superior Court properly admitted a 9 millimeter handgun found near the shooting and did not plainly err by omitting a specific unanimity instruction. The handgun was sufficiently connected to the crime through its proximity, eyewitness testimony, matching ammunition, and Turner's text messages. A general unanimity instruction, reinforced by the accomplice-liability instruction, was adequate because the prosecution relied on one shooting involving two shooters. No separate opinions were issued.
