Supreme Court of Delaware

Hardin v. State

March 12, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Hardin’s sentence for a second violation of probation. It held that the Superior Court could impose incarceration up to the remaining Level V portion of Hardin’s original sentence, and that exceeding sentencing guidelines did not justify reversal of a sentence within statutory limits. The court also rejected characterizing the alcohol-condition violation as merely technical given Hardin’s DUI conviction.
