Supreme Court of Delaware

In a first degree murder case, denial of defendant's request for a new trial based on certain DNA test evidence is affirmed over his meritless claims that the superior court committed reversible error in : 1) denying a motion for default judgment, because the state failed to request an extension in a timely manner; and 2) denying the motion for a new trial, because the court improperly failed to give sufficient weight to the DNA evidence and improperly gave weight to irrelevant factors.
