Description

Questions arose at the last SENTAC meeting on March 21, 2014, regarding Delaware’s Habitual Offender statute (Title 11 § 4214). At that time, the Center offered to provide the following information to the Commission: The number of Defendants declared per year on §4214(a) and (b) declarations; The total number of declarations for every individual declared in each year; How many Defendants are currently serving sentences under §4214(a) and (b); The lead charge breakdown for each §4214 sentence; and The average sentence length imposed for the §4214(a) sentences.
