Supreme Court of Delaware
Lester F. Anderson, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee.
January 20, 20172017 Del. LEXIS 33
Summary
The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Anderson's motion, concluding that any challenge to his conviction had to proceed under the postconviction-relief rule and was procedurally barred, while the sentencing court lacked authority to reduce his mandatory life sentence. The Court also declined to consider Anderson's unpreserved challenge to the jury instructions. The Court warned that it would not continue addressing untimely and repetitive claims; no separate opinions were filed.
