Supreme Court of Delaware

Dabney v. State

March 1, 2010991 A.2d 17

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Dabney's post-conviction motion, holding that counsel was not ineffective for limiting the direct appeal to the rape conviction because the record supported the finding that Dabney instructed counsel to do so. The Court also held that the Superior Court properly considered Dabney's sentencing statements and did not abuse its discretion. No separate opinions were filed.
