Supreme Court of Delaware

Ploof v. State

September 18, 2018

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Ploof's motion to correct his sentence. It held that his death sentence was properly replaced with life imprisonment without parole under the surviving first-degree-murder sentencing scheme and that mandatory life without parole did not violate the Eighth Amendment. The Court concluded that both arguments had already been rejected in a recent decision and presented no new point.
