Supreme Court of Delaware

Williams v. State

December 10, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Williams's untimely motion to modify his sentence under Rule 35(b). The court held that Williams had not preserved his argument that contracting COVID-19 independently constituted extraordinary circumstances, and that any individualized medical basis for modification should be presented through the statutory DOC application process. The court concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion.
