““(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of § 4205(b)(2) and § 4215 of this title, a person convicted a second or subsequent time for robbery in the first degree shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment for not less than 10 nor more than 30 years and the court shall not suspend the sentence of such person, nor give such person a probationary sentence, nor shall the term of imprisonment imposed under this section run concurrently with any other term of imprisonment imposed for the commission of such offense. “(c) The minimum sentence of imprisonment required by this section and § 4205 of this title for a first offense shall not be subject to suspension, and no person convicted under this section shall be eligible for probation or parole during the first 3 years of such sentence.” Since first degree robbery is a class B felony under § 832(a), the penalty for a first offense is imprisonment “from 3 to 30 years and such fine or other conditions as the court may order.” 11 DelC. § 4205(b)(2).”
