Supreme Court of Delaware

Bennett v. State

March 18, 2010992 A.2d 1236

Summary

The court affirmed Bennett's conviction after concluding that the alleged confession was preceded by a clear recitation of Miranda warnings and a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary implied waiver. The court also held that Bennett forfeited his separate state constitutional claim because he did not fairly present it to the Superior Court. The record supported the trial court's credibility findings and its determination that the waiver was valid.
