Two Dissenting Justices Found Defendant’s Sentence Excessive Under the Facts

The First Department, over a two-justice dissent, found that the defendant’s application for resentencing under the Drug Reform Act was properly denied.  The decision is notable for the dissents, which forcefully argued defendant’s sentence was harsh and excessive in light of all the facts. People v Lovett, 2014 NY Slip Op 02329, 1st Dept 4-3-14
