Supreme Court of Delaware

Defendant's murder conviction is affirmed where: 1) defendant made conclusory assertions that his defense counsel acted unreasonably, but provided no support for those assertions, or explained why his counsel's performance was deficient; 2) the trial court properly admitted the victims' medical records into evidence as hearsay exceptions under Delaware Uniform Rules of Evidence 803(4) and 803(6); and 3) under Franks v. Delaware, suppression was an appropriate remedy only if the false statement was knowingly and intentionally included in the affidavit, and the false statement was necessary to the finding of probable cause.
