Supreme Court of Delaware

Barrett v. State

March 2, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Barrett’s convictions for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. It held that the evidence sufficiently linked Barrett to the rifle, that the unpreserved challenge to the firearm-possession jury instruction did not establish plain error, and that the Superior Court properly admitted text messages concerning earlier drug deals under D.R.E. 404(b).
