Description
MOORE, Justice. Defendants await trial for first-degree murder, and the State intends to seek the death penalty as to each of them. Issues
concerning the construction and constitutionality of Delaware's death penalty statute, as modified by 68 Del. Laws Ch. 181
(codified at 11 Del.C. § 4209) (the "new law"), 1 are presented in these questions certified to us by the Superior
Court under Supreme Court Rule 41. With the exception of the charges against Henry L. De Jesus, all of the alleged murders
occurred before the new law became effective. The defendants raise numerous constitutional objections to the new law and its
application to them. We find the new law valid in all respects and fully applicable to all the defendants. The certified questions
are answered in accordance with these Conclusions.
