Supreme Court of Delaware

Damiani-Melendez v. State

May 20, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Damiani-Melendez's motion to correct his sentence as illegal. It held that multiple robbery convictions and sentences arising from one episode do not violate double jeopardy or legislative intent when multiple victims are involved, and that his aggravated-menacing convictions did not merge with the robbery convictions because the offenses involved different victims or occurrences. The Court also held that there was no plain error in the unpreserved merger claim.
