People v. Abel

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Oct 5, 1951
279 App. Div. 623 (N.Y. App. Div. 1951)

Opinion

October 5, 1951.

Present — Taylor, P.J., McCurn, Vaughan, Kimball and Piper, JJ.


Judgments of conviction modified as matter of discretion by reducing the sentence of imprisonment from four months to thirty days and as modified affirmed. Memorandum: In view of the absence, in the records of these defendants, of any convictions other than trivial traffic infractions, we think the sentences of four months' imprisonment were too severe and that the fines imposed, together with sentences to thirty days' imprisonment will constitute ample punishment for the offenses to which they have entered pleas of guilty. All concur. (Appeals from judgments which sentenced defendants each to imprisonment for four months, with a fine of $500.)
