STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. JAMES BOYKINS
A-0751-14T1
Defendant raises an issue not addressed in State v. Hudson,
209 N.J. 513, 517 (2012). We consider whether defendant, who
received a second extended-term sentence for a crime he
committed while on bail awaiting trial on the offense for which
he received his first extended-term sentence, was "in custody"
within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 2C:44-5b when he committed the
second offense. Because we conclude defendant was "in custody"
within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 2C:44-5b when he committed the
second offense, we reject his claim that his second extended
term constituted an illegal sentence.
