People v. Butler

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 6, 1989
155 A.D.2d 476 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

November 6, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Colabella, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the factual recitation during the plea allocution was not sufficiently inculpatory is not preserved for appellate review (cf., People v Riley, 120 A.D.2d 752) and is, in any event, without merit. The defendant unequivocally acknowledged that he strangled one victim and stabbed and choked the other with intent to cause each victim's death. Also without merit are the defendant's contentions that the court was without authority to impose consecutive sentences and that the sentences so imposed were excessive (see, Penal Law § 70.25; People v Brathwaite, 63 N.Y.2d 839; People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Mollen, P.J., Lawrence, Kooper, Spatt and Harwood, JJ., concur.
