Allows for motions for resentencing by the people for certain sentences.

New York S03286 amends the criminal procedure law to allow District Attorneys to move for resentencing for defendants who have served at least 20 years of a sentence for a class A felony, or at least 15 years of any other sentence. The court may set aside the sentence and resentence the defendant if it finds that continued incarceration is no longer in the interest of justice. The court considers factors such as the defendant's risk for future violence, disciplinary record, and any changes in circumstances since the original sentencing.
