Supreme Court of Delaware
Waples v. State
July 9, 2018
Summary
The Court affirmed Waples's convictions for two drug-dealing offenses, holding that the State's failure to disclose its use of a confidential informant did not warrant disclosure of the informant's identity, a Flowers hearing, or a new trial. The record showed that the informant did not witness, participate in, or serve as a party to the drug transactions, and the detective directly and unequivocally identified Waples as the seller, eliminating any reasonable possibility that the informant could materially aid the defense.
