Peterson v. Delaware
Annotate this Case
Defendant-appellant Kalvin Peterson a Superior Court judgment convicting him of one count of Possession of a Firearm by a Person Prohibited. Peterson's claim of error was that collateral estoppel and double jeopardy barred his conviction: that the bench trial conviction was precluded because at a concurrent trial, a jury acquitted him of both Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony, and the underlying felony of Assault in the First Degree. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that Peterson's arguments were without merit.
