People v. Fletcherel

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 24, 1990
160 A.D.2d 601 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

April 24, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Budd Goodman, J.).


We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, "among other things, the crime charged, the particular circumstances of the individual before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction", we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentence. (People v. Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305.)

Also, defendant was sentenced in accordance with her plea bargain and within statutory guidelines. "Having received the benefit of [her] bargain, defendant should be bound by its terms." (People v. Felman, 141 A.D.2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918.)

We further note defendant breached the terms of the plea bargain and has been released from prison. We find no compelling reason to reduce her parole time.

Concur — Kupferman, J.P., Sullivan, Ross, Ellerin and Wallach, JJ.
