Supreme Court of Delaware

Burrows v. State

July 8, 2019

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Burrows’s motion to correct his sentence. It held that the aggregate forty-year sentence was authorized by the statutory maximums and was not rendered illegal merely because it exceeded the SENTAC guidelines. The Court also rejected Burrows’s unpreserved double-jeopardy claim, concluding that sexual solicitation of a child and fourth-degree rape are separate offenses involving different elements and distinct criminal conduct.
