Raniford v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Rainford's convictions from two separate trials. It held that the trial court properly admitted a witness's videotaped statement after finding it voluntary, that the evidence was sufficient to support second-degree conspiracy, and that the prosecutor's opening statements did not warrant a mistrial because they were supported by a good-faith basis or did not prejudice substantial rights. The Court also concluded that any unpreserved claims did not constitute plain error.
