Supreme Court of Delaware

Benn v. State

January 23, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of Benn’s motion to withdraw his guilty pleas. It held that the plea colloquy, the psychiatric evaluation, and the record did not provide clear and convincing evidence that Benn’s plea was involuntary or that he had a valid basis for withdrawal, and that his remaining claims were waived or not cognizable on direct appeal.
