Supreme Court of Delaware
Wheeler v. State
October 19, 2015
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Wheeler’s first postconviction motion after independently reviewing the record under Supreme Court Rule 26(c). It held that none of Wheeler’s six ineffective-assistance claims satisfied the requirement to show deficient performance and a reasonable probability of prejudice, and it found no arguably appealable issue. The Court also concluded that postconviction appellate counsel had conscientiously examined the record and properly moved to withdraw.
