Supreme Court of Delaware

Clanton v. State

January 12, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Clanton’s convictions and sentence after independently reviewing the record under the applicable withdrawal-and-brief procedure. It rejected his prosecutorial-misconduct claim under plain-error review, found no indication that sentencing relied on false or unreliable information, and held that his cell-phone-search claim was unsupported by the record and waived because he had not moved to suppress. The Court concluded that the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue.
