Albany, NY asked in Criminal Law and Appeals / Appellate Law for New York

Q: Is it legal after sentencing to be sentenced to 3 years in prison then 2 months passes, they change it to 6 years?

I'm my finances P.O.A. and her trial was the most corrupt thing I have seen. So many laws n rules were bended and broke. Also know for a fact extortion was involved. Would need to see and speak with a lawyer for them to understand but im currently under investigation had 2 cop cars pull up to me one day to im under investigation n tell me im being watched because of my fiance? They harrass me and pull me over any chance they can get. She had only 1 prior charge... petty larceny.Shes been in jail prison for about 14 15 months now. For non sense. The DA made up his VERY OWN OPINION ON WHY SHE MUST SERVE 3 YEARS... NOTHING ABOUT 6 YEARS. I have all the paper work with all her wrong doings. Need a real lawyer who will help in this currupt case. I only seen this stuff in the movies what I saw n seen happen so illegal right in front of my face. Please

A: Typically they can only change a promised sentence if there's a change in circumstances. Was there a written agate? Oral? Did the judge take the plea and was the defendant promised a sentence and then change it based on new findings?

Need more facts. Id ask assigned counsel
