December 14, 201016 N.Y.3d 54
Summary
The Court affirmed the modified sentencing order, holding that consecutive sentences are permissible for the murder and assault convictions concerning Ronald Davis, Gregory Davis, and Arthur Elliott because each involved separate acts, but the sentence for Stephen Wheeler must run concurrent. The Court also rejected the appellant's Apprendi challenges and remanded for further proceedings.
