Delaware’s Supreme Court has overturned the 2018 murder conviction of a Bridgeville man because prosecutors waited until the day before his trial to give defense attorneys evidence suggesting someone else could have committed the crime.
In 2019, a jury found Mcarthur M. Risper Jr., 28, guilty of first-degree murder and other charges in the May 2018 shooting death of Corey Bailey outside of Bridgeville. Risper was sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison.
During his trial, prosecutors presented evidence, primarily witness testimony, indicating Bailey was gunned down for stealing from Risper weeks before.
About three weeks before the killing, Bailey and his girlfriend snuck into a trailer on Camellia Drive in Bridgeville intending to steal a television, according to testimony from the trial. Instead, they left with two to four pounds of marijuana and an AR-15 rifle, Bailey’s girlfriend told the jury.
