Commonwealth v. Grundman

At issue was whether the sentencing judge erred in resentencing Defendant, who was convicted of certain sex offenses, to include, approximately ten months after he was originally sentenced, the condition that he be subject to global positioning system (GPS) monitoring as a condition of his probation.The Supreme Judicial Court held that because Defendant did not receive actual notice from the sentencing judge at the time of sentencing that GPS monitoring was included as a special condition of Defendant's probation, and because resentencing occurred after the statutory sixty-day period in which an illegal sentence may be corrected, the belated imposition of GPS monitoring must be vacated.
