Supreme Court of Delaware

Belfield v. State

October 16, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Belfield’s second motion to modify his sentence under Superior Court Criminal Rule 35(b). The court held that the motion was untimely and repetitive, and that Belfield had not shown extraordinary circumstances warranting relief. The court also declined to consider several claims raised for the first time on appeal, including ineffective assistance, disproportionate sentencing, and inadequate medical care.
