Supreme Court of Delaware

Brunhammer v. State

March 13, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Brunhammer's conviction and sentence after independently reviewing the record under Supreme Court Rule 26(c) and finding no nonfrivolous appellate issue. It held that his knowing, intelligent, and voluntary guilty plea waived his pre-plea speedy-trial and related prosecutorial-misconduct claims, while his ineffective-assistance claim would not be considered for the first time on direct appeal.
