People ex Rel. Griffin v. Hunt

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
May 21, 1935
196 N.E. 598 (N.Y. 1935)

Opinion

Argued April 16, 1935

Decided May 21, 1935

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.

William Copeland Dodge, District Attorney ( LeRoy Mandle of counsel), for The People of the State of New York, appellant.

Lowell Griffin, in person, respondent.


Order of the Appellate Division and the order of the County Court of Wyoming county modified by striking from the latter order the provision remanding the relator for resentence, and as so modified affirmed. The Court of General Sessions of New York county was right in deciding that the crime was committed while the defendant was armed within the wording and meaning of the statute, thereby justifying the increased penalty. The writ is, therefore, dismissed and the prisoner remanded. No opinion.

Concur: CRANE, Ch. J., LEHMAN, O'BRIEN, HUBBS, CROUCH, LOUGHRAN and FINCH, JJ.
