Sentencing for first-degree murder; People v Taylor

Summary

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal the Court of Appeals judgment (see eJournal # 83184 in the 3/4/25 edition), the court vacated defendant’s first-degree murder sentences and remanded the case to the trial court for resentencing in light of Taylor. It denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining questions presented. It granted the motion to remand in part, to the extent that defendant requested to be resentenced, and denied it in all other respects.
