Cammile v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of Cammile’s habeas corpus petitions because habeas relief in Delaware is limited to reviewing the committing court’s jurisdiction and the regularity of the commitment. His challenges to the validity of an earlier guilty plea, its use as a habitual-offender predicate, and alleged ineffective assistance concerning a later plea could not be pursued through habeas corpus. The Court also held that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in denying an evidentiary hearing.
