Description
HORSEY, Justice: Defendant, Kenneth W. DeShields, seeks reversal of his conviction in a jury trial of two counts of Murder in the First Degree
(11 Del.C. § 636), 1 Robbery in the First Degree (11 Del.C. § 832(a)(2)), and Possession of a Deadly
Weapon during the Commission of a Felony (11 Del.C. § 1447(a)). Following a separate penalty hearing held pursuant
to 11 Del.C. § 4209, the jury unanimously recommended the death penalty for each murder count. DeShields was sentenced
to death for each first degree murder conviction, 30 years' imprisonment for robbery, and 30 years' imprisonment for the weapons
offense. On appeal, DeShields asserts multiple grounds for reversal. His principal arguments involve: (1) the jury selection
process; (2) the constitutionality of the death sentence; (3) the admission of physical evidence; and (4) the prosecutor's
comments to the jury. We find no reversible error and, therefore, affirm.
