Collins v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Collins’s convictions, holding that the trial court properly barred him from arguing that possible voluntary intoxication created reasonable doubt about whether his conduct was intentional. The court also held that the trial court acted within its discretion by omitting the voluntary-intoxication sentence from the definition of recklessness because the record contained no sufficient evidence of intoxication and the sentence could not transform intentional conduct into reckless conduct. No separate opinions were filed.
