Supreme Court of Delaware

Wilson v. State

June 4, 2024

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment after independently reviewing the record under Rule 26(c) and concluding that the appeal presented no arguably appealable issue. Although Wilson was incorrectly advised of the maximum Level V sentence during the plea process, the Court held that such a challenge must first be presented to the trial court through a plea-withdrawal motion or a Rule 61 motion, rather than raised for the first time on direct appeal.
