PROSECUTOR’S INCORRECT STATEMENT ABOUT THE LENGTH OF POST-RELEASE SUPERVISION WAS NOT PRESERVED FOR APPEAL BY OBJECTION.

The Fourth Department determined the prosecutor's misstatement concerning the length of post-release supervision did not require reversal because defendant had ample opportunity to raise an objection to preserve the error but did not do so:

Although the prosecutor initially misstated the period of postrelease supervision prior to the plea allocution and the court failed to mention postrelease supervision during the allocution, defendant was aware that the sentence included a postrelease supervision component at the time of the allocution, the court immediately thereafter confirmed the correct agreed-upon sentence, and neither defendant nor defense counsel objected to the period of postrelease supervision or otherwise indicated that there was any misunderstanding with regard to its length. People v Chant, 2016 NY Slip Op 04544, 4th Dept 6-10-16
