Supreme Court of Delaware
Rochester v. State
June 9, 2022
Summary
The Court affirmed the denial of Rochester’s first motion for postconviction relief, holding that his ineffective-assistance claims concerning the suppression hearing, reargument, and appeal-rights advice lacked merit. Counsel presented or elicited the information Rochester identified, Rochester did not show that reargument would have been proper, and the record showed that he understood he was relinquishing appeal rights and later filed a timely appeal. No separate opinions were issued.
