Supreme Court of Delaware

Wannamaker v. State

August 8, 2022

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Wannamaker’s motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that the five-year minimum mandatory sentence for possession of a firearm by a person prohibited was authorized because Wannamaker committed the offense within ten years of a prior second-degree burglary conviction, which qualified as a violent felony. The sentence also conformed to the parties’ plea agreement.
