State v. Sally A. McDonald (066773; A-56-10) [This is a companion case to State v. Kevin Jerome Hudson, also decided today.]
For the reasons expressed in State v. Hudson, also decided today, the majority of the Court adheres to a plain-meaning reading of the language of N.J.S.A. 2C:44-5(b)(1), and finds that the sentencing court erred by imposing an extended-term sentence on defendant Sally A. McDonald for an offense that she pled guilty to second in time but that was committed earlier than the imposition of the extended-term sentence that she presently is serving. 2-6-12
