Hunter v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Hunter’s second motion for postconviction relief. It held that the legality of the stop, search, and seizure had already been litigated at the suppression hearing and affirmed on direct appeal, so Hunter could not obtain reconsideration merely by reframing the same issue as ineffective assistance of counsel. The court also concluded that Hunter had not shown that reconsideration was otherwise warranted.
