Description

Both the second violent offender law and the persistent violent offender law require imposition of enhanced punishment upon conviction as a second or persistent violent felony offender, even though at the time of the prior conviction on which enhanced punishment is based the prior crime was not classified as a violent felony offense. So to construe the statutes involves no violation of the constitutional proscription upon ex post facto laws. Nor, under those statutes, where the predicate offense is only so classified because it occurs after a plea of guilty to a lesser included offense, is there any statutory infirmity in the failure to recite in the information that the prior conviction was obtained upon a plea of guilty or any constitutional defect because the same offense would not be classified as a violent felony if conviction had been obtained after trial. The Legislature did not intend the persistent violent felony offender law to apply, however, unless each of the two or more predicate violent felony convictions other than the first was for a felony which occurred after sentence had been imposed for the conviction which preceded it. In People v Morse and People v Frank, the orders of the Appellate Division should, therefore, be modified by substituting for the persistent violent felony offender adjudication a second violent felony offender adjudication and remitting for resentence and, except as so modified, should be affirmed. In each of the other three cases, the order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
