The New York Penal Law has always required a person convicted of a felony while out on felony parole to serve their new state sentence consecutive to the time remaining on their original state sentence except for the most serious felony offenders which are A-I felons and repeat child sexual assault felons. Until yesterday, A-I felony offenders and repeat child sexual assault felons were inadvertently permitted to serve their new state sentence concurrently with the time remaining on their prior state sentence unless the judge at the time of sentencing specifically stated that it was to be served consecutively. However, New York Governor David A. Paterson yesterday announced that he signed a bill mandating that all A-I felons and repeat child sexual assault felons serve their sentences consecutively to any time remaining to be served on any previously imposed state sentence.

Donaghy, who was a referee with the National Basketball Association for 13 years, admitted that in December of 2006 he began accepting cash for providing “picks” on NBA games, including those in which he officiated. Donaghy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud as part of a scheme to deprive the NBA of his honest services and conspiracy to transmit gambling information back in August of 2007. In July 2008, Donaghy -who could have been sentenced up to 25 years- was sentenced to only 15 months.
