The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. George Quinones, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts, holding that New York’s discretionary persistent felony offender sentencing scheme does not violate the Sixth Amendment or Apprendi, that the trial court’s finding of reasonable suspicion to stop the defendant was beyond further review, and that the ineffective‑assistance claim could not be decided on the record.
