Supreme Court of Delaware

Gieck v. State

March 18, 2026

Summary

The Court held that eligibility for discretionary expungement of pardoned convictions must be determined charge by charge, so the appellant’s pardoned aggravated-menacing and firearm-while-intoxicated convictions remained eligible even though his DUI conviction was not. The Court also rejected an all-or-nothing approach to expungement and remanded for the Superior Court to determine whether the appellant established manifest injustice as to the eligible convictions.
