Biddle v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's violation-of-probation sentence after independently reviewing the record under Rule 26(c). It held that the sentencing judge could consider a reliable DNA report and other conduct underlying acquitted charges, and that the sentence did not violate double-jeopardy, proportionality, SENTAC, or closed-mind principles. The Court found no nonfrivolous appellate issue and granted the State's motion to affirm.
