DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware's Supreme Court has upheld the conspiracy conviction of a teenage girl in a school bathroom attack that left a 16-year-old classmate dead.
The court on Tuesday rejected the girl's arguments that there was insufficient evidence to convict her in the April 2016 attack that left Amy Joyner Francis dead.
The girl claimed among other things that a Family Court judge erred in allowing prosecutors to introduce two Snapchat videos as evidence. She also said her rights were violated because investigators failed to recover a school iPad issued to Francis that the girl claimed may have contained information favorable to her defense.
Last month, the Supreme Court overturned a codefendant's conviction for criminally negligent homicide in the attack on Francis, who died of sudden cardiac death after the incident.
