Buchanan v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Buchanan’s motion to terminate his curfew or probation so he could accept employment requiring extended absences. The court held that his appellate arguments improperly attacked his underlying convictions rather than addressing the requested probation modification, and that such conviction challenges had to be brought under Rule 61 and could not be relitigated. The court also concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in finding the existing sentence reasonable and appropriate.
