Supreme Court of Delaware

Reese v. State

August 15, 2014

Summary

The Court held that it lacked constitutional appellate jurisdiction to review the Criminal Mischief conviction because the sentence was only a $100 fine, which did not exceed the jurisdictional threshold. Applying its independent review under Rule 26(c), the Court found no arguably appealable issue concerning the remaining conviction and affirmed that portion of the judgment while dismissing the appeal as to Criminal Mischief.
