Supreme Court of Delaware

Croll v. State

July 18, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Croll's habeas corpus petition. Although Croll claimed that separate sentences for aggravated menacing and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony violated double jeopardy, the court held that an illegal-sentence claim could not be reviewed through habeas corpus because the sentencing court had jurisdiction and authority to impose the sentence.
