Note: There appears to be a technical error:
As currenly enacted, Penal Law 60.05(5) presently reads:
"5. Certain class D felonies. Except as provided in subdivision six,
every person convicted of the class D felonies of attempt to commit
assault in the first degree as defined in section 120.10, or assault in
the second degree as defined in section 120.05, attempt to commit a
class C felony as defined in section 230.30, must be sentenced in
accordance with section 70.00 or 85.00."
Since the Legislature has reclassifed PL 120.10 as a class B felony,
its attempted commission is now a class C felony. In addition, in its requirement
of a sentence in accordance with PL 70.00 or 85.00, the above paragraph seems
inconsistent with PL 60.05(4) and 70.02(1)(a) and (1)(b), which together define
attempted assault in the first degree as a class C violent felony and require a
sentence of imprisonment in accordance with PL 70.02.
Therefore, it would seem the above paragraph PL 60.05(5) should be amended
to delete the reference to attempted assault in the first degree.
