Is a juvenile rapist/murderer, after serving over 30 years in prison, on a life plus 20 years with a 40-year parole disqualifier, entitled to a hearing to determine whether the original sentence is illegal?

Yes, said the Appellate Division in a per curiam opinion on Nov. 16, 2022, State v. Terry. But whether the sentence must be modified depends on evidence produced at an evidentiary hearing in which the court must apply the guidelines set forth in State v. Comer, 249 N.J. 359 (2022), and State v. Thomas, 470 N.J. Super. 167 (APP. Div. 2022).
