AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MODIFICATION OF SENTENCES OF INCARCERATION.
Motion to Release Failed
Summary
The measure changes Delaware’s sentence‑modification rules so that anyone serving a Level V incarceration term of more than one year cannot seek a reduction if they were convicted of a class A felony. It applies only to those long‑term inmates and leaves the existing process unchanged for all other offenders. By limiting modifications for the most serious crimes, the bill tightens parole‑type relief for that group.
