Thomas v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of DeAndrae Thomas’s postconviction motion, holding that his guilty plea was entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily despite his claim that counsel and others coerced him. Although the motion was procedurally barred as untimely, the court reached the merits because Thomas had relied on an improperly granted filing extension. The court also concluded that a dispute over the identity of the fourth meeting attendee did not affect the Superior Court’s conclusion.
