Supreme Court of Delaware

Shawn Daniels v. State of Delaware

June 28, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Shawn Daniels's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. It held that Daniels knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights through the plea form and thorough colloquy, and his unsupported assertion that he misunderstood the waiver did not establish a conflict of interest or any fair and just reason for withdrawal. The court therefore concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion.
