Biggins v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Biggins's motion for a new trial because his appeal was filed outside the applicable thirty-day period, and his untimely reargument motion did not toll that period. The Court alternatively stated that, even if jurisdiction existed, the newly discovered evidence would not warrant relief because the challenged evidence did not undermine Biggins's defense that the sexual activity was consensual. The Court also would have rejected his claims concerning unauthorized pro se filings and ineffective assistance of counsel.
