State v. Victor O.
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree, among other crimes. The trial court sentenced Defendant to a term of imprisonment of twelve years for his conviction of sexual assault in the first degree, followed by probation. Defendant subsequently filed a motion to correct an allegedly illegal sentence, claiming that his sentence was illegal under Conn. Gen. Laws 53a-70(b)(3) because the sentence did not include a period of special parole. The trial court denied Defendant’s motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant’s sentence was proper because section 53a-70(b)(3) does not require that persons convicted of first degree sexual assault be sentenced to a period of imprisonment and special parole; rather, it provides that if the court elects to impose such a sentence, then the total combined period of imprisonment and special parole must constitute a total sentence of not less than ten years.
