Goetzendanner: the Most Important Case You’ve Never Heard Of
Parole and Sentencing for Defense Attorneys, Part 1
March 15, 2023 1-3pm
Virtual Training on Zoom
Please save the date for the first in a new training series on Parole and Sentencing, brought to you by the Criminal Defense Trainers and the Parole Advocacy Unit.
Clients charged with new offenses or probation violations while also on parole supervision face a substantial risk that the remainder of their parole sentence will run consecutively to their new sentence – even if the judge and probation clearly promises that it won’t. This problem can cost someone months and even years of additional incarceration, and it is very difficult to undo. Join us to learn about the implications of Goetzendanner v. Superintendent. By the conclusion of the training, you will know how to spot and avoid the problem, educate the judge, and set your client up for a truly concurrent sentence (while also learning how to pronounce this tremendously important case).
Presenters: Sentencing expert Lee Gartenberg trains judges on this and many other issues. Criminal defense and parole attorney Nicole Ouellette, on rotation with the Parole Advocacy Unit, draws on her background in both areas and has worked closely with Attorney Gartenberg in advising counsel on Goetzendanner problems and other parole-related issues.
