Description
HOLLAND, Justice: By information filed in the Family Court on March 6, 1990, the defendant-appellant, Charles Slater ("Slater"), was charged
with committing several misdemeanor offenses against a victim who was a child ("the Family Court charges"). See 10 Del.C.
§ 922(a)(1). On the day before Slater's trial was to begin, August 21, 1990, the prosecutor informed the Family
Court by letter of the State's intentions to nolle prosequi the Family Court charges and, thereafter, seek to indict Slater
in the Superior Court. On September 17, 1990, Slater was charged, in an indictment by the grand jury, with several felony
offenses against a child ("the Superior Court charges"), which arose from the same circumstances as the earlier Family Court
charges. 1 Slater was convicted on January 16, 1991, following a jury trial in the Superior Court, of one count of Assault
in the Third Degree (11 Del.C. § 611) and one count of Reckless Endangering in the Second Degree (11 Del.C. §
603), both misdemeanors, which were lesser included offenses to the felonies for which Slater had been indicted. 2
