Scannapieco v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the defendant's twenty-five-year sentence after concluding that the sentencing court acted within its discretion in allowing the victim's stepfather to discuss the impact of the defendant's conduct on the defendant's son. The court held that the specific objection was not preserved, the information was relevant because the defendant sought contact with his son, and the record did not show that the information was demonstrably false or unreliable. The sentence also fell within the terms of the plea agreement.
