1Opinion of the Court
VEASEY, Chief Justice:
In this appeal from convictions for Burglary First Degree and Robbery First Degree in which the defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment as an habitual offender, we consider: (1) the use of peremptory challenges by the State in an allegedly discriminatory manner; (2) the application of Delaware’s robbery statute to an incident in which force was used solely in an attempt to escape after an attempted theft; and (3) the jury instructions appropriate to a situation in which the jury is allowed to find a defendant guilty based on either principal or accomplice liability.
