Supreme Court of Delaware

Brown v. State

September 21, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Brown's first motion for postconviction relief. It held that Brown's unpreserved ineffective-assistance claim regarding investigation was not reviewable absent plain error, that misinformation about nonbinding sentencing guidelines did not establish prejudice from his guilty plea, and that Brown validly waived appointed counsel before sentencing. No separate opinions were filed.
