Supreme Court of Delaware

Patterson v. State

May 3, 2022

Summary

The Court held that the State complied with its discovery obligations by making the cellphone extraction available for inspection and allowing the defense ample opportunity to review and copy relevant materials. Rule 16 did not require the State to identify which photographs were significant or intended as trial exhibits, and the trial court therefore did not abuse its discretion by admitting Photo 2. The conviction was affirmed.
