Supreme Court of Delaware

Brittingham v. State

September 4, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court's violation-of-probation sentencing order and its revocation of Brittingham's conditional release. It held that the court could order forfeiture of good-time credits earned in one case when those credits contributed to conditional release in another case and Brittingham violated probation. The Court reasoned that the Department of Correction calculates credits and conditional-release dates across an inmate's sentences, making forfeiture fair after revocation.
