Rasin v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Kevin Rasin's postconviction motion alleging ineffective assistance based on counsel's failure to object to prosecutorial vouching. The court held that the prosecutor's rebuttal comments were permissible arguments based on trial evidence and reasonable inferences, directly responding to defense attacks on cooperating witnesses, rather than expressions of personal knowledge or belief. Because the comments were not improper vouching, counsel was not deficient for failing to object. No separate opinions were filed.
