Opinion
March 16, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Joan Sudolnik, J.).
Although the crimes of which defendant stands convicted are of the utmost gravity, it was established that the offenses were committed at a time when the defendant was temporarily and uncharacteristically deprived of better judgment by extreme emotional disturbance. In consideration of this circumstance and of the fact that defendant has no prior criminal record, we think it appropriate to reduce defendant's sentence to the extent indicated.
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Carro, Milonas and Ellerin, JJ.
