Bradford v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Aaron Bradford’s sentence for his third violation of probation. It held that the sentence was within the statutory limits applicable after a violation was proven and that the record did not show the sentencing judge acted with a closed mind or abused discretion. The court found that the judge considered the mitigation evidence and Bradford’s explanations, and that there was no basis to infer that improper information was discussed during the unrecorded sidebar.
