Supreme Court of Delaware

Davenport v. State

October 21, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Davenport's convictions and twenty-year sentence. It held that the State did not breach the plea agreement by advocating for the agreed ten-year cap when Davenport sought a five-year sentence, that the sentencing court permissibly relied on the overall history of abuse and relationship with the victim rather than mechanically applying defined sentencing factors, and that ordering restitution to VCAP was not plain error or an ex post facto violation. There were no separate opinions.
