Supreme Court of Delaware

West v. State

September 23, 2016

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of West’s motion to correct his habitual-offender sentence. It held that his challenges concerned the manner in which the sentence was imposed and therefore were subject to the ninety-day limit applicable to such claims, which West did not satisfy. The Court also held that the later hearing merely clarified the original sentence and did not trigger rights associated with resentencing.
