Supreme Court of Delaware

Dillard v. State

June 30, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Dillard's convictions, holding that he waived appellate review of his challenge to the remedy for the State's discovery violation. The Court alternatively held that the violation did not prejudice Dillard's substantial rights because significant independent evidence supported the convictions and the trial court excluded the undisclosed DNA evidence and gave a curative instruction.
