Supreme Court of Delaware

Hickman v. State

July 1, 2015

Summary

The Court affirmed denial of Hickman's fifth postconviction motion and motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that the prior-conviction exception remained applicable to habitual-offender sentencing, that the trafficking and possession-with-intent convictions could support separate punishments, and that later criminal charges against a testing chemist did not establish a Brady violation. No separate opinions were filed.
