Supreme Court of Delaware

Counts v. State

February 11, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's judgment imposing two years of Level V imprisonment followed by six months of Level IV work release for Counts's third violation of probation. The Court held that it could not review most of Counts's claims because he failed to provide the transcript necessary to evaluate alleged errors at the violation-of-probation hearing, and rejected his challenge to the sentence because SENTAC guidelines are voluntary and non-binding. No separate opinions were filed.
