May 19, 2019

Delaware Senate President Pro Tempore Dave Sokola issued the following statement on Wednesday regarding Senator Darius Brown:

“Accusations of domestic violence are serious and in direct conflict with the values of the Delaware Senate Democratic Caucus.

However, a presumption of innocence is one of the most sacred principles in the American criminal justice system.

I will carefully consider whether any formal actions are warranted in the coming days as we learn more about this incident.”
