3 | | crime, or both, for which the petitioner was originally |
4 | | sentenced an opportunity to provide a victim impact |
5 | | statement to the court. The court shall permit those |
6 | | statements and may consider the live testimony of a |
7 | | victim or a victim representative at its discretion. |
8 | | (8) Following the resentencing hearing, the court may |
9 | | re-sentence the petitioner to any appropriate sentence, |
10 | | subject to paragraph (9). In resentencing the petitioner, |
11 | | the court must make a finding detailing its consideration |
12 | | of the factors listed in paragraph (7). |

5 | | petitioner by certified mail within 10 days of its |
6 | | entry. |

8 | | subparagraph (A), the court shall order the motion for |
9 | | resentencing to be docketed for further consideration |
10 | | in accordance with the procedure stated in this |
11 | | Section. |

13 | | (14), the court may examine the court file of the |
14 | | proceeding in which the petitioner was convicted, any |
15 | | action taken by an appellate court in that proceeding, |
