Description

HERRMANN, Chief Justice: In this appeal the defendant seeks reversal of his conviction of Murder in the Second Degree [11 Del.C. § 635 (1)]* on the grounds that (1) the Statute is unconstitutionally vague; (2) there was error in the jury charge; and (3) the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction of Murder in the Second Degree. Collaterally, he argues that the imposition of separate, consecutive sentences -- one for Murder in the Second Degree and one for Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony** -- violates his rights under the Double Jeopardy Clause in that he is thereby subjected to multiple punishment for the same offense.
