Supreme Court of Delaware

Cannon v. State

April 1, 2010992 A.2d 1236

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Cannon's postconviction-relief motion, rejecting each of his seven ineffective-assistance claims. It held that counsel had no valid basis to object to the witnesses' statements, seek limiting or precautionary instructions, or assert a Confrontation Clause violation, and that the remaining alleged deficiencies either were procedurally barred, presumed strategic, or caused no prejudice.
