NO EVIDENCE DEFENDANT EXPRESSLY WAIVED HIS RIGHT TO BE PRESENT AT RESENTENCING, WAIVER BY COUNSEL NOT SUFFICIENT.

The Court of Appeals determined there was insufficient evidence demonstrating defendant waived his right to be present at his resentencing:

A defendant has the right to be present at all material stages of trial … , including sentencing (see CPL 380.40 [1]). We recently held that a defendant who has been convicted of a felony may waive his right to be present at sentencing, but must do so “expressly” … . The same principle applies in resentencing. The People do not contend otherwise, but insist that an inmate who wishes to waive his right to be present at resentencing should not be required to convey that waiver by personal appearance in court, and that defendant properly waived his right to be present by having his counsel speak on his behalf. Here, however, there is no record of any form of express waiver by defendant himself, whether oral or in writing, and, thus, the issue raised by the People is not presented. Nor in this case can waiver or forfeiture of the right to be present be inferred from defendant’s actions or inaction … . Accordingly, defendant did not validly waive his right to be present. People v Stewart, 2016 NY Slip Op 08398, CtApp 12-15-16
