Supreme Court of Delaware

Terrance E. Everett, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

May 29, 2018186 A.3d 1224

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Everett’s request for a reverse-Franks hearing and upheld his conviction. It held that Everett had no reasonable expectation of privacy in incriminating Facebook information he voluntarily shared with an accepted “friend,” because he assumed the risk that the account belonged to an undercover officer or false friend. The court therefore found no constitutional search and did not reach whether the warrant affidavit would establish probable cause without the Facebook information.
