Supreme Court of Delaware

David Jenkins, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

December 6, 20102010 Del. LEXIS 619

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the revocation of Jenkins's probation and the imposition of his previously suspended incarceration. It held that competent evidence supported the violations, that Jenkins had actual notice and could not show prejudice from consideration of the controlled buys, and that the sentencing judge neither relied on impermissible information nor exhibited a closed mind. The Court reviewed the unpreserved claims for plain error and found none.
