Chrichlow v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the summary dismissal of Chrichlow’s third motion for postconviction relief. It held that his claims concerning the omitted accomplice-liability instruction were previously adjudicated or otherwise procedurally barred, and that he had not shown cause, prejudice, a retroactively applicable right, or a miscarriage of justice. The court also held that he was not entitled to appointed counsel because the applicable rule amendment was not retroactive and his motion was his third postconviction proceeding.
