Supreme Court of Delaware

Jeffrey Kent, Defendant Below-Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below-Appellee.

June 26, 2018189 A.3d 1255

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Jeffrey Kent's amended postconviction motion and granted the State's motion to affirm. The Court held that Kent's sufficiency challenge was procedurally barred because it had been previously adjudicated and that his three newly raised ineffective-assistance claims did not establish plain error. The Court also concluded that counsel's withdrawal motion was moot because the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue.
