Nastatos v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Nastatos's motion for postconviction relief. It held that his ineffective-assistance claims failed principally because he did not establish prejudice, that his discovery-related Brady claim was procedurally barred, and that appellate counsel's strategic decisions were reasonable. The court also upheld the denial of sentencing-related claims because Nastatos did not show that different counsel or a different judge would have produced a different sentence.
