Supreme Court of Delaware

Belmont v. State

March 7, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed Belmont's adjudication of delinquency for aggravated menacing, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support a finding that he intended to place an officer in fear of imminent physical injury. Belmont failed to preserve the specific intent argument, so the Court reviewed it for plain error and found none because he intentionally pulled out a gun while being pursued and the natural and probable consequence was that an officer would fear being shot.
