Stigile v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's sentence for Stigile's second violation of probation. It held that the violation was adequately established by his admission and competent evidence, that relaxed evidentiary rules permitted hearsay at the VOP hearing, and that the sentence was lawful and neither arbitrary nor excessive. The court also rejected Stigile's claims of judicial misconduct and due process violations arising from alleged inaccuracies in the administrative warrant.
