Rollins v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's judgment and held that Rollins was not entitled to withdraw his guilty plea despite counsel's mistaken advice about a minimum mandatory sentence. The record did not show that the mistake caused Rollins to reject the plea and insist on trial, particularly because the plea dismissed several charges and ultimately produced less nonsuspended incarceration than originally imposed. The court declined to consider an unpreserved ineffective-assistance claim concerning appellate counsel and found no plain error in the habitual-offender sentence.
