My Problem with the New York Sealing Law 160.59

This is how I sometimes feel, like wtf

You know I have this issue with fairness. Freely admitted I think some things are blatantly unfair. Justice is something people philosophize about but practically it can be achieved. It drives me crazy and sometimes I even lose sleep over it.

One of my new peeves is the new New York sealing law under CPL section 160.59. It allows for sealing of old DWI criminal convictions if they are over 10 years old plus a few other qualifiers. And this is big news because NYS does not have expungement so sealing is the next best thing BUT...

Using the New York Sealing Law in Multiple Courts of Conviction

Motion to Seal Criminal Record
Which New York Court?

New York will now have a sealing law in place for criminal misdemeanors and felonies beginning in October of 2017. Look at our previous blog post to see if your convictions qualify and when you can proceed to seal them. The new sealing law under New York CPL section 160.59 permits up to two criminal convictions to be sealed.

What if you have a misdemeanor conviction located in one court, and a felony conviction in yet another court and yet another county, which one do you work on to seal both? How do you get to seal both criminal convictions? What if you have two criminal convictions that are misdemeanors in two different courts? How is application made to seal both misdemeanor convictions?
