Hines v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Hines's motion for judgment of acquittal on the charge of possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, the Court held that a rational jury could infer Hines knew the serial number was obliterated from his possession and likely firing of the firearm, the obvious condition of the serial number, and related circumstantial evidence.
