Supreme Court of Delaware

Anderson v. State

July 14, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Anderson’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The record showed that Anderson entered the plea knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily, and his later challenges to the evidence, search, indictment timing, counsel, and restitution did not establish a fair and just reason for withdrawal. The Court held that a knowing and voluntary guilty plea waived challenges to the sufficiency and legality of the prosecution.
