Superior Court of Delaware

Defendant's motions to suppress evidence in a prosecution for various charges, including murder, rape, arson, and burglary, are denied pursuant to findings that: probable cause existed for the issuance of both search warrants at issue, a search warrant for boots and defendant's blood did not contain false and misleading statements, and a search warrant for a residence was not pretextual and additional items seized at the residence were obtained through the uncoerced consent of defendant's girlfriend.
