Lewis v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Corey Lewis's first motion for postconviction relief. It held that Lewis's ineffective-assistance claim based on counsel's failure to seek suppression and his prosecutorial-misconduct claim were barred by his knowing, intelligent, and voluntary guilty plea, which he did not challenge. The Court also addressed the merits despite a discrepancy in the notice of appeal because the notice was timely relative to the postconviction order and the brief addressed that order.
