Supreme Court of Delaware

Baer v. State

June 15, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Family Court’s adjudication of Baer as delinquent for resisting arrest. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, the Court held that a rational fact finder could infer Baer’s intent from his positioning, eye contact, failure to move when ordered, and the surrounding circumstances. The Court deferred to the Family Court’s credibility findings and factual inferences.
