Milligan v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Milligan's sentence for Murder by Abuse or Neglect in the Second Degree. Because the sentence was within the statutory range and the record did not show reliance on impermissible information, vindictiveness, bias, or a closed mind, the court found no abuse of discretion. The court also held that the sentencing judge was not required to rely on unfamiliar analogous cases or enumerate aggravating factors under the sentencing guidelines.
