Supreme Court of Delaware

Kahlil Lewis, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

August 4, 20162016 Del. LEXIS 424

Summary

The court held that Delaware's criminal saving statute permitted prosecution under a criminal statute mistakenly repealed after Lewis committed the charged offense, even though the re-indictment occurred during the repeal. It also rejected Lewis's challenges to the admission and use of his prior felony conviction, the refusal to give a self-defense instruction, and his sentence, concluding that none constituted reversible error. The court therefore affirmed the Superior Court's judgment.
