People v. Hawkins

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 22, 1978
63 A.D.2d 719 (N.Y. App. Div. 1978)

Opinion

May 22, 1978


Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered November 19, 1975, convicting him of robbery in the first degree (four counts), after a nonjury trial, and imposing concurrent sentences of imprisonment with a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 15 years. Judgment modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by reducing the sentences imposed to concurrent terms of imprisonment with a minimum of two and one-half years and a maximum of seven and one-half years. As so modified, judgment affirmed. We find the sentences imposed were excessive to the extent indicated herein. Latham, J.P., Suozzi, Margett and Hawkins, JJ., concur.
