Criminal Law

SENTENCING COURT IS OBLIGATED TO CONSIDER YOUTHFUL OFFENDER STATUS, DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF ANY MENTION OF IT IN THE PLEA OFFER (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, vacating defendant’s sentence, noted that the failure to mention youthful offender treatment in a plea offer does not constrain the court from considering it:

​

There is no dispute that defendant was eligible … for youthful offender treatment (see CPL 720.10). Nevertheless, based on comments that the court made in denying defendant’s request for youthful offender treatment, it appears that the court believed that it was constrained to deny defendant’s request simply because it was not contemplated by the People’s plea offer. …

“Compliance with CPL 720.20 (1) requires the sentencing court to actually consider and make an independent determination of whether an eligible youth is entitled to youthful offender treatment” … . Inasmuch as the Court of Appeals has held that CPL 720.20 (1) mandates “that there be a youthful offender determination in every case where the defendant is eligible, even where the defendant . . . agrees to forgo it as part of a plea bargain” … , a new sentencing proceeding is required… . People v Hobbs, 2018 NY Slip Op 00995, Fourth Dept 2-9-18
