Supreme Court of Delaware

Medkeff v. State

January 9, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment after independently reviewing the record under the no-merit appeal procedure. It held that Medkeff’s guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary because he acknowledged the maximum possible sentence and that sentencing remained within the Superior Court’s discretion. It also held that his sentence was not appealable merely because it exceeded SENTAC guidelines, since it was within statutory limits and the court stated aggravating reasons for the departure.
