Supreme Court of Delaware
Malik J. Moss v. State of Delaware
June 28, 2017
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Moss's convictions and sentence after rejecting his challenges to the admission of drug and cell-phone evidence. The Court held that the drug evidence had a sufficient chain of custody, that the phone reports were properly authenticated and could be explained by lay witnesses, and that any error concerning unidentified hearsay declarants was not reversible in light of the substantial evidence of guilt. Moss's separate Confrontation Clause argument was waived because he failed to brief it on appeal.
