Supreme Court of Delaware

Jackson v. State

July 15, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of George Jackson’s motion to correct his sentence. It held that his renewed double-jeopardy challenge to separate sentences for attempted first-degree murder and first-degree robbery was barred by the law-of-the-case doctrine because the same claim had previously been rejected on the merits, with no basis for reconsideration in the interest of justice.
