Supreme Court of Delaware

Gregg v. State

November 15, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Gregg’s convictions for arson after concluding that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by admitting evidence of Gregg’s prior arson conviction. The prior fire was sufficiently similar and materially relevant to whether the charged fire was intentional and whether Gregg set it, and the limiting instructions mitigated the risk of unfair prejudice. No separate opinions were filed.
