Supreme Court of Delaware

Palmer v. State

August 27, 2024

Summary

The Court affirmed Palmer’s convictions and sentence, holding that the detective’s testimony did not constitute plain error requiring reversal. Although Palmer claimed the testimony improperly vouched for his identification as the perpetrator, the record showed that the detective explained how multiple witnesses identified Palmer and that Palmer conceded he had committed the stabbing, making the contested issue his justification rather than his identity.
