Ayers v. State

2 Citing cases

  1. Smith v. State

    No. 143, 2009 (Del. Dec. 3, 2009)

    Johnson, 157 S.W.3d at 151.See Ayers v. State, 2002 WL 1751794, at *1 (Del. July 24, 2002). (17) Smith next asserts that the trial judge abused his discretion when he held that trial counsel's failure to question jurors about whether they saw Smith in handcuffs did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.

  2. State v. Denston

    I.D. No. 9905011124 (Del. Super. Ct. Oct. 20, 2008)

    Denston's Fourteenth Amendment rights were not violated when he knowingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty and thereby gave up his right to seek suppression of the evidence against him, nor would they have been violated if there had been occasion to present the challenged evidence. See, e.g., Ayers v. State, 803 A.2d 427, 2002 WL 1751794, at *2 (Del. July 24, 2002) (TABLE) ("It is well-settled . . . that a voluntary guilty plea constitutes a waiver of any alleged defects or errors occurring prior to the entry of the plea."). 11. For the foregoing reasons, Denston's fourth Postconviction Motion for Relief is hereby DENIED. Furthermore, in light of Denston's duplication of his previous motion, the Court emphasizes that repetitive motions are barred under Rule 61(i) and will not receive consideration.
