Del. Fam. Ct. R. Crim. P. 29
As amended through June 13, 2024
Motions for directed verdict are abolished and motions for judgment of acquittal shall be used in their place. The Court on motion of a person charged or of its own motion shall order the entry of judgment of acquittal of one or more offenses charged in the information or petition after the evidence on either side is closed if the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction of such offense or offenses. If the motion of a person charged for judgment of acquittal at the close of the evidence offered by the State is not granted, the person charged may offer evidence without having reserved the right.
