Supreme Court of Delaware

Bowen v. State

May 10, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Bowen’s motion to correct his sentence. It held that his challenge to the habitual-offender designation was an untimely claim that the sentence was imposed in an illegal manner, and that his separate challenge to the length of his sentence was not preserved for appellate review. The Court also noted that Bowen had not shown extraordinary circumstances and did not dispute having three qualifying predicate convictions.
