Iverson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Iverson's motion to modify the partial-confinement and probationary portions of his sentence. The Court held that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion because Iverson's family hardship, financial concerns, rehabilitation, employment prospects, and institutional conduct did not establish a basis for sentence modification. The Court also concluded that familial hardship and financial difficulties were not appropriate factors for consideration in a sentence-modification motion.
