Delaware Supreme Court Upholds Life Sentence for Randon Wilkerson in Officer’s Murder

The Delaware Supreme Court has upheld the conviction and sentence of Randon Wilkerson, who was found guilty of the 2021 murder of Delmar police officer Cpl. Keith Heacook.

The Court rejected Wilkerson’s appeal, which argued that he had unknowingly taken bath salts instead of methamphetamine, leading to his violent behavior.

The Court noted that Wilkerson had knowingly consumed various illegal substances, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl, and that the involuntary intoxication defense was not applicable in this case.

As a result, the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s ruling, affirming Wilkerson’s life sentence and additional 212 years in prison.
