Supreme Court of Delaware

Schofield v. State

September 12, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed Schofield's VOP judgment, holding that the Superior Court could revoke probation and impose a VOP sentence even though Schofield sent the prohibited communications while incarcerated. It also upheld the challenged probation conditions as within the sentencing court's discretion and concluded that the corrected order did not require Schofield's presence because it clarified a clerical mistake. The Court further declined to review the validity of the earlier sixty-day no-contact condition because Schofield had not appealed that order.
