Supreme Court of Delaware
Cleveland Richardson, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee
July 12, 20103 A.3d 233
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Richardson's motion for postconviction relief. It held that the jury-instruction claim was procedurally barred because the later decision concerning individualized culpability was not retroactive and Richardson showed no basis for reconsideration in the interest of justice. The court also held that Richardson failed to establish prejudice from counsel's alleged failure to communicate a plea offer.
