Supreme Court of Delaware

Jones

November 4, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the dismissal of postconviction applications filed by eleven defendants who had pleaded guilty to drug-possession offenses. The applications were procedurally barred because they did not plead particularized new evidence creating a strong inference of actual innocence, and they also lacked merit because the defendants did not challenge the validity of their knowing and voluntary pleas or claim unjust convictions.
