Brown v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Brown's fourth postconviction motion, motion for appointment of counsel, and request for transcripts at state expense. It held that Brown's claims were barred as untimely, repetitive, and formerly adjudicated, so the Superior Court properly addressed the procedural bars before reaching any ineffective-assistance merits. The Court also held that Brown had not shown good cause for appointed counsel or free transcripts.
