1977(See People v Richardson, 51 AD2d 462, 465 .) However, the trial court appears to have concluded that the sentence of Cwikla on the burglary charge at the first trial was merely incidental to the sentence of 15 years to life Cwikla received on the murder charge, and, therefore, that at the end of the second trial it had the right to disregard the limits of the sentence imposed for burglary at the first trial and impose a sentence for that crime which matched the totality of the circumstances of the case.

North Carolina v. Pearce red

1977As the Supreme Court declared: "Due process of the law * * * requires that vindictiveness against a defendant for having successfully attacked his first conviction must play no part in the sentence he receives after a new trial.” (North Carolina v Pearce, 395 US 711, 725 , supra.) If we were to find this sentence valid, we would be, in effect, penalizing the defendant for interposing a successful defense to the charge of murder, after a successful appeal.
