Supreme Court of Delaware

Joseph C. Jackson v. State of Delaware

July 23, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Jackson’s motion to correct his sentences. Although the Superior Court incorrectly treated the motion as a time-barred sentence-modification motion, the Supreme Court held that the motion lacked merit under the sentence-correction rule because the separate indictments involved distinct criminal conduct and did not violate double jeopardy.
