Defendant Who Objected to the Amount of Restitution at Sentencing Was Entitled to a Hearing Even Though the Restitution-Amount Was (Apparently) Specified in the Plea Agreement

The Second Department determined defendant, who objected at sentencing to the amount of restitution, was entitled to a hearing, even though the specific restitution-amount was (apparently) made part of the plea agreement.  The restitution was related to the “buy money” used by the police in a related drug deal.  The court explained the relevant law:

Under Penal Law § 60.27(9), a defendant may be ordered to pay restitution for funds used by law enforcement in the purchase of drugs, if certain prerequisites are met. Before a defendant may be directed to pay restitution, a hearing must be held if either: (1) the defendant objects to the amount of restitution and the record is insufficient to establish the proper amount; or (2) the defendant requests a hearing (see Penal Law § 60.27[2]…). This procedure must be followed even if the plea agreement contains a provision for a specific amount of restitution … . People v Morrishill, 2015 NY Slip Op 03187, 2nd Dept 4-15-15
