Supreme Court of Delaware

A conviction for first degree murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony is affirmed over defendant's claim that the trial judge abused his discretion in finding sufficient evidence to warrant a flight instruction, which permitted the jury to infer "consciousness of guilt" from defendant's "mere departure" from the crime scene.
