Zimmerman v. State
Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WALLACE ZIMMERMAN, § § No. 100, 2014 Defendant-Below, § Appellant, § Court Below: Superior Court § of the State of Delaware in v. § and for New Castle County § STATE OF DELAWARE, § ID No. 1301007175 § Plaintiff-Below, § Appellee. § Submitted: September 10, 2014 Decided: September 11, 2014 Before STRINE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and RIDGELY, Justices.
ORDER On this 11th day of September 2014, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties and the record in this case, it appears to the Court that: (1) The defendant-below/appellant Wallace Zimmerman, was found guilty by a jury of Theft of property valuing $1500 or more, Criminal Mischief causing property loss over $1000 but less than $5000, and Receiving Stolen Property.
Zimmerman was found not guilty of third degree Burglary and the lesser included offense of second degree Criminal Trespass.
(2) Zimmerman filed a motion for a judgment of acquittal on the charges of Theft of property valuing $1500 or more and Criminal Mischief causing property loss over $1000 but less than $5000. Zimmerman also argued that he could not be convicted of both Theft of property valuing $1500 or more and Receiving Stolen Property under 11 Del. C. § 856. Zimmerman now appeals from the Superior Court’s denial of that motion.
(2) After considering Zimmerman’s arguments, we conclude that this appeal should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth by the Superior Court in its Opinion and Order of December 9, 2013.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT: /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. Chief Justice
