Mumford v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's sentence imposed after Mumford's fifth violation of probation. It held that the sentence was within legal limits and that the choice whether to require participation in a particular drug-treatment program was committed to the sentencing judge's discretion. The court concluded that Mumford showed no abuse of discretion in requiring substance-abuse evaluation and any resulting recommended treatment rather than specifically ordering participation in the Crest program.
