A man who was released from prison last year after more than two decades on Delaware's death row and is facing a retrial in a 1991 slaying is set to appear in court for a plea and sentencing hearing.
Jermaine Wright is scheduled to appear in state Superior Court Monday in Wilmington, according to a court calendar.
Wright was sentenced to death in 1992 for the killing of 66-year-old Phillip Seifert, a clerk at a liquor store and bar outside Wilmington. Following numerous appeals, Delaware's Supreme Court overturned the conviction in 2014.
But earlier this year, the Supreme Court said a judge erred in saying Wright's 1991 confession was inadmissible, ruling instead that it could be used at his retrial. That decision cleared the way for prosecutors to refile charges against Wright.
