Supreme Court of Delaware

Waterman v. State

July 8, 2016

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment after independently reviewing the record under the no-merit appeal procedure. It concluded that counsel conscientiously examined the record and law, and that the appeal presented no nonfrivolous issue. The Court also held that the appellant’s ineffective-assistance claim and unrelated letter to the President Judge could not be reviewed on direct appeal.
