Supreme Court of Delaware

Brannon v. State

June 4, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Brannon’s conviction and sentence for violating probation. It held that his admissions during the violation-of-probation hearing constituted sufficient evidence to support the violation finding, and that a sentence exceeding nonbinding SENTAC guidelines was permissible because it remained within statutory limits. The Court also declined to consider claims unrelated to the challenged violation-of-probation proceedings.
