Supreme Court of Delaware
Carlo v. State
November 30, 2016
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Carlo’s convictions for assault in a detention facility and escape after conviction. It held that sufficient evidence supported the finding that Carlo intentionally caused physical injury to a correctional officer, including injuries sustained during Carlo’s intentional resistance and struggle. The court concluded that the trial court properly inferred intent from Carlo’s conduct and properly considered the statutory presumption concerning natural and probable consequences.
