Supreme Court of Delaware

Wiggins v. State

May 22, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Wiggins's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. It held that his unpreserved judicial-bias claim did not constitute plain error and that the Superior Court acted within its discretion in finding no fair and just reason to withdraw the plea. The Court also concluded that Wiggins's plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary and that his remaining claims did not establish legal innocence or otherwise undermine the withdrawal ruling.
