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.
