People v. Goyette

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 5, 1991
178 A.D.2d 681 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

December 5, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Albany County (Harris, J.).


Contrary to defendant's contention, the prison sentence he received of 5 to 15 years was not harsh or excessive. Although it was the harshest possible sentence (Penal Law § 70.02 [b]; [4]), defendant was permitted to enter his plea in full satisfaction of a six-count indictment and was specifically warned by the court that he could receive the 5- to 15-year sentence. Under these circumstances, and given the nature of the crime involved, we find no abuse of discretion by the court in imposing sentence (see, People v Williams, 97 A.D.2d 599).

Mahoney, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Crew III and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
