The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Robert Buss, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the level three sex offender designation for Robert Buss, holding that for purposes of the Sex Offender Registration Act a prisoner serving multiple sentences is subject to all sentences that comprise the merged or aggregate term. The Court reasoned that Buss was still serving his 1983 sex offense sentence when SORA became effective, despite the later violent offense.
