Terrero-Ovalles v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Terrero-Ovalles’s first motion for postconviction relief. It held that his non-ineffective-assistance claims were procedurally barred and independently waived by his knowing, intelligent, and voluntary guilty plea, and that he failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice. The court found no reasonable probability that he would have rejected the plea and obtained a better result at trial.
