Desiree A. Aricidiacono, Defendants Below-Appellants v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief for defendants who pleaded guilty to possessing illegal narcotics without claiming that their admissions were false or that the State coerced their pleas. The court held that undisclosed misconduct at the crime laboratory, without evidence that it induced the pleas or undermined their factual guilt, did not make the pleas involuntary or otherwise justify vacating the convictions or sentences.
