New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Barak Cornell

March 24, 201116 N.Y.3d 801

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order reversing Barak Cornell's conviction because the trial court failed to advise him of the postrelease supervision that would accompany his sentence, a due‑process violation that requires vacating the guilty plea even absent a post‑allocution motion.
