Supreme Court of Delaware

Rollins v. State

January 14, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of Rollins’s motion for sentence modification or reduction. It held that Rollins remained eligible for habitual-offender sentencing even though strangulation was not listed as a violent felony, and that his Rule 35(b) motion was untimely. The Court also held that relief under Section 4217 was unavailable because only the Department of Correction may initiate a sentence-modification application under that provision.
