Supreme Court of Delaware

Fountain v. State

August 26, 2014

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Fountain’s motion to correct his sentence. It held that his mandatory minimum sentence was imposed under the repeat-offender enhancement, not the non-addict enhancement, so no jury finding regarding non-addict status was required. It also held that the prior-conviction enhancement did not require a jury determination and did not transform his delivery convictions into different offenses.
