Supreme Court of Delaware

Jamar K. Thompson, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

July 24, 2018192 A.3d 544

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the finding that Thompson violated probation. It held that the late disclosure did not warrant reversal because Thompson did not request a continuance or show prejudice, the trial court remedied any incomplete disclosure by limiting the State's evidence, the exclusionary rule does not apply to probation-violation proceedings under the federal Constitution, and the evidence was sufficient. SEITZ, Justice, concurring, agreed with affirmance but noted that constitutional issues arising in probation-violation hearings might warrant consideration in a properly presented appeal.
