Supreme Court of Delaware

Bush v. State

June 14, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Bush’s conviction for resisting arrest with force or violence and his six-month habitual-offender sentence. The Court held that, viewing the evidence in the State’s favor, a rational jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Bush used force against officers attempting to detain him, and that the record supported his habitual-offender designation. The Court also concluded that counsel satisfied the requirements for withdrawal under Rule 26(c).
