Supreme Court of Delaware

Cosby v. State

February 20, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Cosby’s convictions for robbery, conspiracy, and criminal mischief. It held that a text message referring to “we” was relevant to show Cosby’s participation with others, that the evidence was sufficient to support the conspiracy and accomplice-liability convictions, and that the prosecutor’s credibility comments did not constitute plain error. The court also concluded that Cosby failed to preserve the sufficiency and vouching claims, requiring plain-error review.
