Description
VEASEY, Chief Justice. In this appeal, we consider the April 30, 1993 sentence of death imposed by the Superior Court on defendant below-appellant Nelson Shelton (""Nelson""), 1 for the first degree felony murder of Wilson Mannon (""Mannon""). Although Nelson has expressed his desire to be executed and, therefore, has not pursued a direct appeal, an automatic appeal was docketed as to his sentence. It is alleged that the imposition of the death sentence violated both 11 Del.C. § 4209(g), which requires that the sentence imposed be proportional to sentences received in similar crimes under that section, and the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. After reviewing the record and the applicable authorities, we find that the Superior Court did not err, and therefore, we AFFIRM the sentence imposed by the Superior Court.
