Supreme Court of Delaware

Itius Wynn, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

June 27, 20112011 Del. LEXIS 329

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Wynn's aggregate thirty-one-year sentence for assault, firearm, and reckless-endangering convictions. It held that deviation from the SENTAC guidelines does not alone establish reversible error because the guidelines are nonbinding, and that the sentencing judge acted within broad discretion based on the seriousness of the conduct and Wynn's lack of responsibility. The court also rejected Wynn's challenges to the sentencing court's consideration of mitigation, factual information, and enhancement of the PFDCF sentences.
