Supreme Court of Delaware

Marvel v. State

May 30, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Marvel’s motion to correct his sentence, holding that his convictions and sentences for second-degree criminal solicitation and second-degree conspiracy did not violate double jeopardy. The offenses require different elements and punish different conduct: solicitation was complete when Marvel asked another person to commit the felony, while conspiracy required an agreement and an overt act. The Court therefore granted the State’s motion to affirm.
