Supreme Court of Delaware

Chapman v. State

January 26, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s sentence imposed after finding Chapman violated probation. It held that Chapman could not use the VOP appeal to challenge his underlying guilty plea, original sentence, or prior sentence-modification rulings, and that the VOP sentence was within statutory limits. The Court also rejected challenges based on alleged judicial bias, the SENTAC guidelines, and the absence of stated aggravating factors. No separate opinions were filed.
