Supreme Court of Delaware

Powell v. State

March 28, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Powell's motion for reconsideration of the denial of his second postconviction motion and his motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that the postconviction motion was procedurally barred and that Powell's challenges either to his sentencing transcript or to the validity of his murder conviction did not establish an illegal sentence under Rule 35(a).
