Supreme Court of Delaware

Duffy v. State

April 11, 2023

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Duffy’s motion to correct an allegedly illegal sentence. It held that Duffy was indicted, convicted, and sentenced for first-degree rape and received a life sentence, not a capital sentence under the death-penalty statute. The Court also warned that repetitive filings could result in an injunction requiring leave before future appeals or writs are filed.
