Supreme Court of Delaware

Palmer v. State

July 7, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Palmer’s convictions, holding that the search-warrant affidavit established probable cause under the totality of the circumstances and that the joint-possession instruction was supported by evidence that others had access to the residence. The court also held that Palmer’s challenge to the court’s response to a jury question was waived because he had not requested a curative instruction or raised the argument in his opening brief.
