Supreme Court of Delaware

David Crosby-Avant, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

May 29, 2018186 A.3d 1239

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed Crosby-Avant's convictions for third-degree assault, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, and possession of ammunition by a person prohibited. It held that his mistrial claim was waived, his unpreserved coercion and sufficiency claims did not establish plain error, and his remaining claims were either unreviewable on direct appeal or unsupported by the record. The Court also approved appointed counsel's withdrawal under Rule 26(c), finding the appeal wholly without merit.
