Court of Appeals of New York
People v. Velez, 123
In a consolidated appeal of two criminal defendants, claiming that their resentencings under Correction Law 601-d, which provides a procedure for resentencing defendants in cases where the original sentence illegally omitted a term of post-release supervision (PRS), the judgment of the Appellate Division is affirmed, as the failure to meet the statutory deadline does not impair the validity of the resentencings in these cases, and the resentencing of one of the defendants was barred by double jeopardy under People v. Williams.
