MURDER SECOND COUNTS WERE INCLUSORY CONCURRENT COUNTS OF MURDER FIRST AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED; FORMER APPELLATE COUNSEL WAS INEFFECTIVE FOR FAILING TO RAISE THE ISSUE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing (modifying) County Court, determined the second degree murder counts should have been dismissed as inclusory concurrent counts of first degree murder, and the former appellate counsel was ineffective in failing to raise that issue:

… [F]ormer appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to contend on appeal that … the defendant’s convictions of murder in the second degree, and the sentences imposed thereon, must be vacated, and those counts of the indictment dismissed, because those charges are inclusory concurrent counts of the conviction of murder in the first degree … . People v Davis, 2021 NY Slip Op 04720, Second Dept 8-18-21
