Supreme Court of Delaware

McDonald v. State

September 7, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Bryan McDonald's conviction for violation of privacy. It held that the combination of defense counsel's references to McDonald by his first name and other identification evidence allowed the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he was the perpetrator, and that independent circumstantial evidence corroborated his confession sufficiently to establish the corpus delicti. No separate opinions were issued.
