Supreme Court of Delaware

Green v. State

August 17, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Green’s postconviction motion. It held that his ineffective-assistance claims were not procedurally barred under Rule 61(i)(3) or (i)(4), but that counsel’s performance was objectively reasonable and that Green failed to establish a reasonable probability of a different outcome. The Court rejected claims concerning the failure to request a mistrial, cross-examine the complainant about an inconsistency, request a specific-unanimity instruction, and object to various testimony and argument.
