Zamarianne (a.k.a. Jonathan) Bradley, Defendant-Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff-Below, Appellee.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Bradley's convictions for first-degree assault of a law-enforcement officer and resisting arrest. It held that the evidence, including the bite wound, lasting scar, bleeding, and medically required prophylactic treatment, was sufficient for a rational jury to find serious physical injury. It also held that the trial court's instruction tracking the statutory definition of serious physical injury was not plain error, particularly because Bradley did not object and pursued an all-or-nothing defense. No separate opinions were filed.
