Supreme Court of Delaware

Smith v. State

December 10, 2014

Summary

The Court affirmed denial of Smith's postconviction motion challenging his violation-of-probation proceedings. It held that Smith could not establish ineffective assistance because he admitted sending the sexually explicit image and did not present a colorable claim that he had not violated probation; the marital-communication privilege also would not have prevented the State from proving the violation. No separate opinions were filed.
