Justin Parker, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

Summary

The court held that theft of a motor vehicle and felony theft are the same offense for double-jeopardy purposes because Delaware's theft statute treats specialized theft offenses as included within general theft. It also held that the separate theft counts were multiplicitous because the property was taken during one continuous heist at the same location and pursuant to a single criminal intent. The court vacated Parker's sentence and remanded for resentencing, including the associated firearm-related sentences.
