Supreme Court of Delaware

Wonnum v. State

January 19, 2023

Summary

The Court affirmed the summary dismissal of Wonnum’s third postconviction motion as procedurally barred. Because Wonnum pleaded guilty rather than being convicted after a trial, he could not invoke the exception for a new, retroactive constitutional rule under Rule 61(d)(2)(ii), and his remaining arguments either were not preserved or did not overcome the procedural bars.
