Supreme Court of Delaware

Sanders v. State

June 12, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the summary dismissal of Sanders’s fifth and sixth postconviction motions because the claims concerning the photographic lineups and the victim’s identification had already been raised and rejected in prior proceedings. The Court held that restating or refining previously adjudicated claims does not avoid the procedural bar and characterized the appeal as frivolous and an abuse of the judicial process.
