Supreme Court of Delaware

Trice v. State

December 2, 2016

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Trice's motion to correct his sentence under Rule 35(a). It held that his challenge to the plea colloquy concerned an alleged pre-sentencing error outside Rule 35(a)'s narrow scope, while his separate claim that the sentence was illegal was raised for the first time on appeal and therefore was not considered. The Court also noted that similar sentencing claims had previously been rejected.
