COUNTY COURT FAILED TO MAKE A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER DETERMINATION, CASE REMITTED.

The Fourth Department noted that County Court did not make a determination on the record whether defendant was a youthful offender, which is mandatory. The case was remitted for that purpose:

​

We agree with defendant, however, that the court erred in failing to determine whether he should be afforded youthful offender status … . Defendant was convicted of a sex offense enumerated in CPL 720.10 (2) (a) (iii), and the court therefore was required ” to determine on the record whether . . . defendant is an eligible youth by considering the presence or absence of the factors set forth in CPL 720.10 (3)’ ” … . Because the court failed to make such a determination, we hold the case, reserve decision, and remit the matter to County Court to make and state for the record “a determination of whether defendant is a youthful offender” … . People v Wilson, 2017 NY Slip Op 04985, 4th Dept 6-16-17
