Supreme Court of Delaware

Watson v. State

March 30, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed the summary dismissal of Watson's Rule 61 motion challenging his drug conviction based on alleged misconduct at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. It held that Watson's guilty plea waived the Brady claim because it concerned impeachment evidence relevant only to trial, and that completion of his sentence left him without standing to pursue postconviction relief. No separate opinions were filed.
