Luis G. Cabrera, Jr., Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Cabrera's remaining postconviction claims, including claims concerning jury selection, ineffective assistance, the seizure of a firearm, expert-evidence disclosure, witness recantation, jury instructions, alleged disclosure violations, juror qualifications, juror interviews, and discovery. The court held that most claims were procedurally barred or previously litigated, and that the remaining ineffective-assistance claims failed because counsel was not deficient or Cabrera could not establish prejudice. The Superior Court's separate vacatur of Cabrera's death sentence remained undisturbed after the State dismissed its cross-appeal.
