Alvarado v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Alvarado’s violation-of-probation sentence and granted the State’s motion to affirm. It held that Alvarado’s unsupported and unpreserved competency claims lacked merit, and that his counseled admission to the violation waived his Fourth Amendment search-and-seizure claim. The court relied on the plea colloquy and hearing record showing that Alvarado understood the violation, the possible sentence, and the proceedings.
