Supreme Court of Delaware

Franklin v. State

June 22, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment imposing the agreed-upon sentence after Franklin admitted his fourth violation of probation through counsel. The record showed that Franklin did not personally request an opportunity to address the court or present witnesses, and the Superior Court was entitled to rely on counsel’s representation of the admission. The Court declined to consider any ineffective-assistance claim raised for the first time on appeal.
