New York Court of Appeals

The People of the State of New York v. Ledarrius Wright

June 5, 201219 N.Y.3d 359

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that Penal Law § 70.25(2) bars consecutive sentences for first‑degree murder and second‑degree weapon possession when the possession offense is completed only by the shootings, and therefore modified the Appellate Division order so the sentences run concurrently.
