The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Anthony N. Pacherille, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that a valid waiver of the right to appeal forecloses appellate review of a sentencing court’s discretionary denial of youthful offender status once the court has considered the request. The decision notes a dissent arguing that such waivers should not apply to mandatory youthful offender determinations.
