Supreme Court of Delaware

Sahin v. State

January 21, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Sahin’s habeas corpus petition because his sentencing order was facially regular, the sentencing court had jurisdiction, and he identified no defect in the Superior Court’s review. The court also held that the constitutional rule concerning mandatory life without parole for juvenile offenders did not apply because Sahin was not a juvenile when he committed his offenses.
