Supreme Court of Delaware

Henry v. State

October 18, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Jerry E. Henry’s request for a certificate of eligibility to file a sentence-modification petition under 11 Del. C. § 4214(f). The court held that Henry did not satisfy the statute’s type-of-sentence requirement because the sentencing judge exercised discretion to impose fifteen years of incarceration rather than imposing a minimum-mandatory sentence.
