Harris v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Harris's convictions for drug, weapon, and person-prohibited offenses after independently reviewing the record under the no-merit appeal procedure. Applying de novo review, the Court held that the evidence, viewed favorably to the State, was sufficient for a rational jury to find every essential element beyond a reasonable doubt, including Harris's possession of contraband and the firearm. The Court also concluded that counsel had conscientiously reviewed the record and that the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue.
