Supreme Court of Delaware
Jackson v. State
October 8, 2019
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Jackson’s convictions and sentences after conducting its own review under the withdrawal procedure. It held that the officers stayed within the first warrant’s scope when they searched a cooler capable of containing drugs and properly seized immediately apparent firearms, that the second warrant authorized collection of DNA rather than a search for guns, and that Jackson showed no plain error in the speedy-trial delay. The court also declined to review an undeveloped constitutional challenge that Jackson had not raised below.
