People v. Castillo

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 24, 1998
247 A.D.2d 306 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

February 24, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Cohen, J., at plea; Robert Seewald, J., at sentencing).


Defendant's shooting and killing of the two victims designated in the murder counts constituted separate and distinct acts justifying the imposition of consecutive sentences ( see, People v. Brathwaite, 63 N.Y.2d 839), and we see no reason to disturb those sentences in the interest of justice.

Concur — Rosenberger, J. P., Wallach, Williams and Tom, JJ.
