Supreme Court of Delaware

Johnson v. State

July 21, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Marcus Johnson’s motions to modify his sentence. It held that the statutory amendment permitting concurrent sentences applies prospectively only, and that Johnson failed to establish extraordinary circumstances or support his claim that the State had agreed to file a substantial-assistance motion. The Court also found no abuse of discretion in denying his untimely and repetitive motion.
