Supreme Court of Delaware

Brunhammer v. State

August 1, 2018

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Brunhammer’s habeas corpus petition. It held that habeas relief is unavailable because his commitment was facially valid and the court that ordered it had jurisdiction, while his speedy-trial claim had already been rejected after his guilty plea. The Court also warned that repetitive appeals could lead to an injunction requiring leave before future filings.
