Court Decision: Improperly Sentenced as a Second Violent Felony Offender

Appellate Division, Second Department: People v. Arline

Improperly Sentenced as a Second Violent Felony Offender

In this rape case, the trial court erroneously concluded that a prior Florida burglary conviction constituted a predicate violent felony conviction.  Mr. Arline’s adjudication as a second violent felony offender and the sentences imposed were vacated and the case was remitted for resentencing. Sentence Vacated & Remitted for Resentencing.

De Nice Powell represented Mr. Arline
