Manuel Morales, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed Morales’s robbery conviction and sentence despite concluding that the prosecutor improperly told the jury that he was “clearly guilty.” Because Morales did not object, the Court applied plain-error review and held that the isolated statement was not sufficiently prejudicial to undermine the fairness and integrity of the trial, nor was it repetitive misconduct requiring reversal.
