No. 119, 2010.

12 A.3d 1132 (2011)

Alejandro CRUZ, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. STATE of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Delaware.

Decided: February 9, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Santino Ceccotti and Bernard J. O'Donnell (argued), Office of the Public Defender, Wilmington, Delaware for appellant.

Paul R. Wallace , Department of Justice, Wilmington, Delaware for appellee.

Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, BERGER, JACOBS and RIDGELY, constituting the court en banc.

STEELE, Chief Justice:

On February 4, 2008, Alejandro Cruz stabbed Aurora Reyes 68 times, killing her. On his way to Mexico, Texas Rangers arrested him in Austin, Texas. A judge found Cruz guilty of first degree murder, among other charges. Cruz appeals his first degree murder conviction. Because we defer to a general verdict if there is record evidence to support it, and because there is sufficient evidence here to support the guilty verdict, we affirm.
