Supreme Court of Delaware

Penn v. State

January 16, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed Penn’s convictions and sentence after independently reviewing the record under the Rule 26(c) standard and finding no arguably appealable issue. It held that the Superior Court acted within its discretion in delaying sentencing, declining to order a presentence investigation, and imposing a probationary component on Penn’s habitual-offender sentence. The Court declined to consider Penn’s ineffective-assistance claims on direct appeal.
