Supreme Court of Delaware

Nelson v. State

June 29, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Nelson's motions to modify his sentence. It held that Nelson's challenges based on an allegedly closed judicial mind and false sentencing information were not preserved because he did not raise them below, and that his sentence was definite rather than illegal or indefinite because completion of treatment only created a possibility of early release. No separate opinions were filed.
