Overview: Trial court did not err in denying the first defendant and second defendant's judgment of acquittal motion and convicting them of exploitation of an infirm adult; sufficient evidence, whether or not it was expert medical testimony, proved that they violated relevant statute, Del. Code Ann. tit. 31, ? 3913, as victim was shown to be "infirm adult."

Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61(i)(3).

State v. Washington, I.D. No. 0104011899, SUPERIOR COURT OF DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE, August 13, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel did not entitle defendant to postconviction relief, under Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61, because it was not ineffective for counsel not to object to (1) references to a victim as "victim," as defendant raised no consent defense, and (2) admissible lay opinion testimony that a person was "scared."
