Supreme Court of Delaware

Kane v. State

May 18, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the summary dismissal of Kane's third postconviction motion. The court held that his challenge to compliance with the guilty-but-mentally-ill plea statute was waived and procedurally barred, and that he did not satisfy any exception for successive petitions because he was not convicted after trial and identified no qualifying jurisdictional or retroactive constitutional claim.
