Supreme Court of Delaware

Mayo v. State

April 21, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Kenneth Mayo’s motion to correct his habitual-offender sentence as illegal. The court held that the statutory classification of possession of a firearm by a person prohibited as a violent felony was not affected by the federal decision addressing a different residual clause, and that Mayo’s unpreserved challenges did not establish plain error or permit review without the relevant transcript.
