Supreme Court of Delaware

Hudson v. State

January 21, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Hudson’s first postconviction motion, concluding that his claims were procedurally barred where appropriate and otherwise failed under the ineffective-assistance standard. The Court held that counsel was not ineffective regarding the missing transcripts, search warrants, indictment, bill of particulars, investigation, juror selection, expert evidence, or appellate issues, and declined to consider cumulative error raised for the first time on appeal.
