Nickerson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Nickerson’s convictions and sentences after independently reviewing the record under the withdrawal procedure for appointed appellate counsel. It held that Nickerson’s unpreserved challenges to the investigatory detention and the officers’ compliance with the stop statute did not constitute plain error, and that his remaining claims either were procedurally improper or presented matters for the jury. The Court also concluded that the appeal was wholly without merit and that counsel had conscientiously examined the record.
