Supreme Court of Delaware

Perez v. State

December 18, 2019

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Perez's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Although the Superior Court's explanation was minimal, the record made its reasons apparent: the plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily, counsel made strategic decisions regarding suppression issues, and Perez showed no procedural defect or legal-innocence basis warranting withdrawal. The Court concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion.
