Supreme Court of Delaware
Bunting v. State
May 5, 2015
Summary
The Court affirmed the summary dismissal of Bunting's third motion for postconviction relief. It held that he had no right under Martinez to appointed counsel for a successive postconviction motion or to relitigate an earlier uncounseled motion, and that his claims concerning the OCME investigation and ineffective assistance were procedurally barred and unsupported. The Court also concluded that Bunting failed to establish a miscarriage of justice sufficient to overcome the procedural bars.
