Supreme Court of Delaware

Perez v. State

December 3, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Perez's conviction and sentence, holding that the absence of a Spanish interpreter at sentencing did not violate his constitutional rights. Because Perez did not request an interpreter or object below, the court applied plain-error review and found no plain error based on his demonstrated understanding of English and the knowing, voluntary, and intelligent nature of his guilty plea.
