Supreme Court of Delaware

Hall v. Metzger

November 17, 2020

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of Hall’s habeas petition and related motions. It held that habeas relief was unavailable because the commitment and sentencing orders were facially regular and the sentencing court had jurisdiction, and that Hall’s belated, unsupported claim did not warrant an evidentiary hearing or state-funded records. The Court also declined to consider arguments raised for the first time on appeal.
