1. “THE COURT: This Court remembers well the facts that were presented and I do remember the situation, the circumstances, the facts that were given to this Court at the time that the plea was taken at the time of the sentencing. Mr. Rubin, I understand your arguments also and you’re very correct in that I think this is a situation where I could possibly take into consideration what you have requested, but I am not. I’m going to deny that at this time. Accordingly, I’m going to resentence Mr. Levy at this time to 25 years Department of Corrections, without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. I recognize that the prior sentencing by this Court was in error. However, I still stand by my decision to sentence the young man as I have sentenced him. And I duly recognize that that is not mandated, but that is my sentence.”
