Supreme Court of Delaware

Johnson v. State

June 16, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Johnson’s sentence for his second violation of Level III probation. It held that the sentence was within statutory limits and that the record did not show reliance on false factual predicates, impermissible factors, judicial bias, or a closed mind. The court concluded that the Superior Court considered both the admitted violations and Johnson’s mitigating explanation before imposing Level V treatment.
