Waters v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Waters’s convictions for two robbery-related firearm offenses. It held that the Superior Court acted within its discretion when it answered the jury’s Miranda question by explaining that Miranda and constitutional-rights issues had already been resolved while leaving credibility determinations to the jury. The instruction addressed a legal issue rather than commenting on the weight or validity of Waters’s confession, and other evidence substantially corroborated his guilt.
