Supreme Court of Delaware

King v. State

January 28, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Jeffrey King's second Rule 35(b) motion to modify his sentence. The Court held that the motion was barred as repetitive and that King failed to establish extraordinary circumstances excusing its untimeliness because his medical conditions had been considered during plea negotiations, sentencing, and his prior modification motion. The Court noted that King may still seek relief through a Department of Correction application for sentence modification based on good cause.
