New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Jonathan Dean, Appellant

April 3, 20078 N.Y.3d 929

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the trial court lacked authority to impose consecutive sentences because the People failed to allege separate times for each act of possession, and therefore modified the lower court's order to run the sentences concurrently and affirmed the modified order.
