Supreme Court of Delaware

O'Neal v. State

March 6, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed O’Neal’s conviction for possession of a firearm by a person prohibited after independently reviewing the record under the applicable withdrawal procedure. The Court rejected challenges based on witness inconsistencies, prosecutorial argument, expert testimony, alleged discovery violations, missing-evidence instructions, and sufficiency of the evidence, and held that ineffective-assistance claims were not cognizable on direct appeal.
