Supreme Court of Delaware

Bissoon v. State

December 7, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Bissoon’s first postconviction motion. It held that he failed to show deficient performance or prejudice from counsel’s plea negotiations, particularly because the agreement provided substantial benefits and he did not claim he would have gone to trial. The Court also held that his valid guilty plea waived any challenge to the strength of the State’s evidence.
