A state law directing judges to consider tougher sentences for repeat felony offenders was found unconstitutional yesterday by a federal appeals court. The three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that jurors should be weighing those facts. The state's highest court upheld the law three times in the past few years, the last time being 2005. For more, see Law Links in the News.
