Supreme Court of Delaware

Wayne Williams, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

June 2, 20162016 Del. LEXIS 328

Summary

The court held that the Superior Court reasonably limited Williams's cross-examination concerning misconduct at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and did not violate his confrontation rights. It further held that any constitutional error would have been harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because overwhelming independent evidence established Williams's guilt. The court affirmed the convictions except for the tampering conviction, which was reversed, and remanded for resentencing; it also rejected Williams's jury-selection challenge.
