Supreme Court of Delaware
Hall v. State
January 12, 2016
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Hall's habitual-offender sentence after independently reviewing the record under Rule 26(c). It rejected Hall's due process challenge because the State announced its intent to seek habitual-offender sentencing before sentencing, filed the motion before sentence, presented documentary evidence, and gave Hall an opportunity to respond. It also held that Hall's prior felony convictions and third-degree burglary conviction qualified under the applicable habitual-offender provision.
