Text: Jeffers' third claim is that he should not have been sentenced for possession of a firearm when the indictment referred only to a handgun, a deadly weapon. We agree with the Superior Court's reasoning in its November 3, 2006 memorandum opinion that, under the definitions of Del.Code Ann. tit. 11, § 222, the indictment, which referred to a handgun, provided notice to Jeffers that he was being charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and that he was, therefore, subject to an enhanced three-year minimum sentence under Del.Code Ann. tit. 11, § 1448(e)(2). We, therefore, conclude that Jeffers' third claim is without merit.
