Dale v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Dale’s convictions and life sentences, holding that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by admitting a neurologist’s opinion based on medical records and video observations without an in-person examination. Dale’s separate challenge to a purported difference between the expert’s pretrial disclosures and trial testimony was unpreserved, failed plain-error review, and would have been harmless in any event because substantial independent evidence supported the convictions.
