Turnage v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Turnage’s first postconviction motion because it was filed outside Rule 61’s one-year limitations period and did not satisfy an exception to that bar. The court rejected her due-process, access-to-courts, retroactivity, and equitable-tolling challenges, declined to consider her unpreserved judicial-estoppel argument, and alternatively held that her claim that her guilty plea was involuntary lacked merit. No separate opinions were filed.
