Wright v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed from a Family Court order finding him delinquent of, and sentencing him for, the offenses of Assault in the First Degree, Reckless Endangering in the First Degree, and Offensive Touching. On appeal, defendant challenged two of the Family Court's evidentiary rulings and claimed that there was insufficient evidence to support the court's adjudication of delinquency on all three charges. The court held that there was no plain error and that there was sufficient evidence to support the Family Court's finding of delinquency on all three charges. The court also held that the trial judge properly exercised his discretion in not excluding the state's rebuttal evidence. The court further held that the Family Court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's request to admit evidence of the victim's two convictions because there was no basis to admit that evidence as probative of defendant's claim of self-defense. Therefore, the judgments of the Family Court were affirmed.
