Supreme Court of Delaware

Wright v. State

May 12, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Wright’s second motion for postconviction relief. It held that the claims Wright sought to revive, including claims of prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance, were procedurally barred under the applicable version of Rule 61 and that the motion did not overcome those procedural barriers. The Court also upheld the Superior Court’s conclusion that the claims lacked merit where independently addressed.
