The Appellate Division affirmed the imposition of parole supervision for life on a defendant who pleaded guilty to possessing between 100 and 1,000 items of child sexual abuse material, holding that PSL motions are governed by the preponderance-of-the-evidence standard and that the sentencing court conducted a proper holistic offender assessment despite defendant’s favorable expert reports and low-risk scores.

On Supreme Court remand in light of State v. Carlton, the Appellate Division again vacated Junor’s extended-term sentence and ordered resentencing, holding that while Carlton’s harmless-error doctrine applies to Erlinger violations, it does not cure the independently identified failures to adequately articulate aggravating and mitigating factor findings and the error in sentencing a merged conviction.
