People v. Sales

In People v. Sales, 129 Misc 2d 731, 493 N.Y.S.2d 945 (Sup Ct Kings County 1985), a crime victim whose views were not available when the pre-sentence report was prepared asked the District Attorney if she could address the sentencing court to give her first-hand account of the crime and its effect on her (People v. Sales, 129 Misc 2d at 731-31). The Court has no reason to believe that the District Attorney will fail to advise the court of the complainant's views about any plea offer or to notify the court in the event she wishes to make a victim-impact statement at the appropriate time.
