Supreme Court of Delaware

Blackwood v. State

October 11, 2023

Summary

The Court affirmed Blackwood’s convictions and sentences, holding that he voluntarily consented to a search of the entire contents of his smartphone, making it unnecessary to decide whether the warrant was overbroad or otherwise defective. The Court also rejected Blackwood’s claims concerning nondisclosed impeachment evidence, an allegedly altered interview video, and the alibi instruction. The Court found no plain error or other reversible error in those claims.
