Raheem Harris, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Harris's postconviction motion, holding that the record did not support his claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to seek suppression of his statement about the firearm. The trial evidence established that Harris was advised of his Miranda rights before making the statement, and counsel reasonably concluded that a suppression motion lacked merit. The court declined to consider additional ineffective-assistance claims raised for the first time on appeal.
