Supreme Court of Delaware

McGlotten v. State

December 30, 2025

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of McGlotten’s motion challenging a $75,000 restitution order under the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause. It held that McGlotten agreed to the restitution obligation in his negotiated plea and, in any event, failed to show that the amount was grossly disproportionate to his offenses and the substantial law-enforcement costs associated with them.
