Supreme Court of Delaware
Windsor v. State
August 28, 2014
Summary
The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment and concluded that the appeal presented no arguably meritorious issue. It held that Windsor’s last-minute pro se request to withdraw his pleas was properly disregarded, his sentences were lawful and supported by the record, and his unpreserved confrontation, due-process, and prosecutorial-misconduct claims did not establish plain error. The Court also held that any ineffective-assistance claim could not be raised for the first time on direct appeal.
