Supreme Court of Delaware

Bodnari v. State

August 20, 2019

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of Bodnari’s untimely and repetitive motion to reduce or modify his sentence. It held that Bodnari did not establish extraordinary circumstances because his parole-related claims, rehabilitation efforts, challenge to sentencing information, and reliance on later statutory amendments did not satisfy the governing standard. The Court also concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion.
