Supreme Court of Delaware

Coleman v. State

April 5, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s decision to reopen the State’s case so it could establish that a certified conviction record belonged to Coleman. Coleman’s failure to object when the record was admitted undermined his later authentication and linkage challenge. The Court also held that his challenge to the allegedly pretextual detention was waived because he did not raise it below and presented only a conclusory constitutional argument.
