Supreme Court of Delaware

Higgin v. State

January 9, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Higgin’s resentencing judgment after conducting the required review under Rule 26(c). The Court declined to consider Higgin’s ineffective-assistance claim because it had not been presented to or decided on the merits by the Superior Court and was more appropriately raised in postconviction proceedings. The Court found no other arguably appealable issue and granted the State’s motion to affirm.
