Decided: January 29, 2015
Before STRINE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and RIDGELY, Justices.
ORDER
On this 29th day of January 2015, after careful consideration of the parties’
briefs and the record below, we find that the Superior Court’s ruling denying the
Appellant’s motion for acquittal should be affirmed. The State offered sufficient
evidence so that a rational trier of fact, viewing the evidence in the light most
favorable to the State, could have found that the Appellant knowingly possessed a
firearm in violation of 11 Del. C. § 14481 beyond a reasonable doubt.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Henry duPont Ridgely
Justice
1
11 Del. C. § 1448.
