White v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Richard White's life sentence and granted the State's motion to affirm after independently reviewing the record under Rule 26(c). The Court held that White's knowing, intelligent, and voluntary guilty plea waived his challenges to the indictment, plea agreement, discovery, and evidentiary sufficiency, while his ineffective-assistance claims were not considered on direct appeal. The Court also found that White waived his objection to the presentence report and that his life sentence was within statutory limits and not an abuse of discretion.
