Supreme Court of Delaware

Hall v. State

September 29, 2016

Summary

The Court dismissed the appeal because the notice of appeal was received after the jurisdictional deadline, and the appellant did not establish that the delay was attributable to court-related personnel. The Court also stated that, even if it reached the merits, the sentence-correction motion was not ripe and lacked merit because the murder sentence had to be served before the deadly-weapon sentence began, and the double-jeopardy claim had already been litigated.
