Supreme Court of Delaware

Thomas v. State

March 4, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Thomas's convictions for first-degree murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Applying de novo review to the sufficiency challenge and viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the Court held that a rational jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Thomas shot Hale with a firearm despite the absence of an eyewitness or recovered murder weapon.
