Brooks v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Brooks's motions to correct his sentence. It held that his guilty pleas to second-degree robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony did not create the type of inconsistent verdict addressed in a prior jury-trial decision, because Brooks waived a jury determination of the sufficiency of the firearm evidence by pleading guilty. The Court concluded that the appeal was without merit.
