Supreme Court of Delaware

Justiniano v. State

May 2, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Leonardo Justiniano’s conviction for possession of a firearm by a person prohibited. It held that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by allowing the same jury to hear the severed person-prohibited charge after the other charges because evidence from the first trial was relevant and admissible to prove firearm possession in the second trial. No separate opinions were filed.
