Supreme Court of Delaware

Kade v. State

July 5, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court's finding that Kade was delinquent for carrying a concealed dangerous instrument. It held that the State presented sufficient evidence that the taser was an electronic control device designed to incapacitate a person, and that evidence of the taser's specific voltage, functioning, or testing was not required. The Court also declined to review Kade's statutory-interpretation argument because he had not fairly presented it below and failed to demonstrate plain error.
