Supreme Court of Delaware

Grandelli v. State

September 19, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Grandelli's conviction and sentence for his second violation of probation. It held that alleged omissions and the witness's financial interest affected the weight of the testimony rather than its admissibility, that the State laid an adequate foundation for the transdermal alcohol-device evidence, and that competent evidence supported the violation. The Court also found no abuse of discretion or closed-mindedness in the sentencing decision.
