Supreme Court of Delaware

Benson v. State

December 29, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Benson's first postconviction-relief motion. It held that Benson's guilty plea was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary, which waived his challenges to suppression and the absence of a Franks hearing, and that his ineffective-assistance claims failed because counsel's conduct was reasonable and no different outcome was shown.
