Criminal Law, Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA)

DEFENDANT DID NOT WAIVE HIS RIGHT TO BE PRESENT AT THE SORA HEARING, NEW HEARING ORDERED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing County Court, noted that a defendant has the right to be present at a SORA hearing, and here the defendant did not waive that right:

“A sex offender facing risk level classification under [SORA] has a due process right to be present at the SORA hearing” … . While a defendant may waive the right to be present at the hearing, in order to establish a valid waiver it must be shown, inter alia, that “the defendant was advised of the hearing date, of his right to be present, and that the hearing would be conducted in his absence”… . Here, there is no evidence that the defendant was notified of the adjourned hearing date. Therefore, as the People correctly concede, the record fails to establish that the defendant voluntarily waived his right to be present at the hearing … . People v Hunt, 2018 NY Slip Op 01087, Second Dept 2-14-18
