Supreme Court of Delaware

Higgin v. State

July 18, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed Higgin’s conviction for possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited, finding no arguably appealable issue concerning the conviction. It vacated the three-year Level V sentence because the Superior Court failed to impose the statutorily required lower-level custodial supervision period to facilitate reentry into society. The matter was remanded for a new sentencing hearing with notice and Higgin and defense counsel present.
