Supreme Court of Delaware

Wright v. State

October 1, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Wright’s application challenging his 1997 conspiracy conviction and the resulting habitual-offender sentence. The court held that Rule 61 was the exclusive remedy for setting aside the conviction, but Wright lacked standing because he had completed probation and, alternatively, any Rule 61 motion would be untimely; his Criminal Rule 35 claim was also waived. The court further declined to review Wright’s repetitive challenges.
