Supreme Court of Delaware
Harmon v. State
September 8, 2016
Summary
The Court affirmed Harmon’s convictions and probation-violation sentences after independently reviewing the record under the applicable appellate standards. It held that Harmon’s guilty pleas waived challenges to pre-plea defects and the strength of the State’s evidence, that his plea representations defeated his claimed sentencing promise, and that the sentences were lawful and not imposed with a closed mind. The Court also concluded that the appeal presented no arguably meritorious issue and granted counsel’s motion to withdraw as moot.
