Supreme Court of Delaware

Jackson v. State

February 16, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Jackson's convictions and sentence after concluding that none of his preserved or unpreserved claims warranted relief. The court held that the challenged police testimony was admissible lay opinion, the confrontation claim and evidentiary claims were either waived or failed under plain-error review, and the prosecutor's conduct did not require reversal. The court found no prejudice from any alleged error given the substantial evidence supporting the convictions.
