Supreme Court of Delaware

Defendant's convictions for third-degree burglary, theft, offensive touching, and criminal mischief, arising out of breaking into a car in a parking garage, are affirmed where: 1) a photograph of defendant kept in the garage and a witness's testimony about how the witness knew defendant did not suggest to the jury that defendant had previously committed crimes; 2) the trial judge properly attempted to minimize any chance of prejudice to defendant by limiting the witness's testimony about the photograph; and 3) the trial judge properly concluded that a missing videotape of an individual fleeing from the garage had no evidentiary value, and therefore, was not material.
