The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Chris McAlpin, Respondent

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order reversing the conviction and vacating the plea because the trial court failed to advise the defendant of post‑release supervision at the plea proceeding, giving an inaccurate impression of sentencing options. The dissent argued that the defendant should have preserved his Catu challenge and that the reversal should be dismissed.
