People v. Blair

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jun 6, 1996
228 A.D.2d 720 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

June 6, 1996

Appeal from the County Court of Chemung County (Castellino, J.).


In satisfaction of a three-count indictment, defendant pleaded guilty to rape in the third degree and was sentenced to a prison term of 1 to 4 years. He argues that the sentence is harsh and excessive. Given the nature of the crime and the vulnerability of the victim, we find this argument to be unpersuasive. Accordingly, we decline to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.

Cardona, P.J., Crew III, White, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
