O R D E R 
 
This 6th day of December 2002, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties, 
the Court concludes that the trial judge’s answer to the jury inquiry did not constitute 
an improper comment on the evidence in violation of Article IV, § 19 of the Delaware 
Constitution.  Under the circumstances the answer was an appropriate response and 
did not infringe upon the jury’s fact finding role. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court be, and the same hereby is, 
AFFIRMED.
