THE SENTENCING JUDGE IMPROPERLY SPECULATED AND CONSIDERED UNCHARGED CRIMES; SENTENCE VACATED (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, vacating defendant’s sentence, determined the sentencing judge improperly speculated and considered uncharged crimes:

… [C]ertain remarks made by the County Court demonstrate that, in imposing sentence, it improperly speculated and considered that the defendant had committed additional similar crimes for which she had not been apprehended. Consequently, the defendant must be resentenced … . People v Jeffriesel, 2022 NY Slip Op 06012, Second Dept 10-2622

Practice Point: Here the judge’s remarks at sentencing revealed improper speculation and consideration of uncharged crimes. The sentence was vacated and resentencing ordered.
