Supreme Court of Delaware

Shockley v. State

November 10, 2016

Summary

The Court found no arguable merit in Shockley's challenges to his convictions, concluding that the discovery violation caused no prejudice, the unreported sidebar did not affect his rights, and ineffective-assistance claims could not be considered on direct appeal. It affirmed the criminal judgment but remanded for the Superior Court to clarify the written sentence concerning participation in and possible completion of a Level V drug-treatment program.
