Stokes v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Terrance Stokes's motion for postconviction relief after concluding that his guilty plea was knowing and voluntary, waived his pre-plea Brady claim, and undermined his new claims concerning coercion and sentencing advice. The court also held that the record did not establish deficient performance or prejudice from counsel's investigation, suppression analysis, or handling of the asserted double-jeopardy issue. No separate opinions were filed.
