Supreme Court of Delaware

Santiago v. State

September 30, 2014

Summary

The Court affirmed Santiago's violation-of-probation sentence because he did not dispute possessing a weapon in violation of his probation conditions. His allegation that arresting officers used excessive force was not cognizable in an appeal from the violation-of-probation sentence. The Court applied abuse-of-discretion review and concluded that the undisputed violation provided no basis to overturn the judgment.
