Johnson v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Jonathan Johnson’s motions to correct his habitual-offender sentence as illegal. The court held that, although the habitual-offender statute in effect when Johnson committed the offense applied, the applicable provision still supported the same minimum sentence based on his prior felony convictions, including a conviction later reclassified as a misdemeanor. The court also concluded that Johnson had waived challenges to other motions by failing to brief them.
