Overview: No right to judgment of acquittal existed; State proved each element of delivery of non-narcotic Schedule IV controlled substance under Del. Code Ann. tit. 16, § 4720(b)(27). Ambien was non-narcotic, a term not defined in Del. Code Ann. tit. 16, § 4701, and it was thus sufficient for State to prove that Ambien was Schedule IV controlled substance.
