SENTENCES FOR MURDER AND CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A WEAPON MUST RUN CONCURRENTLY (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department determined consecutive sentences for murder and criminal possession of a weapon were illegal:

… [T]he sentence is illegal insofar as the court directed that the sentence imposed for criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree shall run consecutively to the sentence imposed for murder in the second degree… . As the People correctly concede, “the sentence on the murder conviction should run concurrently with the sentence on the weapon possession conviction that requires unlawful intent … , because the latter offense was not complete until defendant shot the victim[]” … . People v Maull, 2018 NY Slip Op 08780, Fourth Dept 12-21-18
