Tucker v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Tucker's first postconviction motion and granted the State's motion to affirm. The court held that Tucker's claims of ineffective assistance by postconviction and appellate counsel were procedurally unreviewable or unsupported, and that his three claims concerning trial counsel lacked either deficient performance or resulting prejudice. The court also concluded that the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue and that appellate counsel had conscientiously reviewed the record.
