Supreme Court of Delaware

Gomez v. State

December 3, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Gomez’s motion for postconviction relief. It held that counsel reasonably investigated and presented mitigating evidence, while most of the additional evidence was cumulative and the new IQ evidence would not have changed the sentencing decision given the serious aggravating factors. The Court concluded that counsel was not ineffective.
