See, Wright v. Casanova (October 8, 1999); Grier v. Samuel, Del. Super., Conrad, J. 86 A. 209 (1913); Kiesling v. Fagnan, Del. CCP C.A. No. 57-232, DiSabatino, J. (January 2, 1973). Even if there was a guilty plea, and there is not, a judicial determination must be made as to liability and proximate cause for the alleged damages. Petrella v. Alexander, 1991 Del.
