Supreme Court of Delaware

Johnson v. State

June 7, 2022

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Johnson’s first postconviction-relief motion because it was filed more than one year after his conviction became final and did not satisfy an exception to the procedural bar. The court alternatively held that Johnson’s ineffective-assistance claims failed on the merits because he offered no evidence of a mental-health condition or deficient performance by counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
