The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Genna A. Turner, Appellant

Summary

The Court held that the trial court’s failure to notify the defendant of the post‑release supervision (PRS) component at the plea allocution meant the defendant could not have preserved a due‑process challenge to the voluntariness of her plea; therefore the plea was vacated, the conviction remanded, and the confession was upheld as admissible under the attenuation doctrine. The Court emphasized that notice of PRS must be given before sentencing to allow objection. Justice Abdus‑Salaam dissented, arguing that the preservation requirement applied and would have affirmed the lower court’s order.
