January 12, 1995
Appeal from the County Court of Broome County (Smith, J.).
We reject defendant's contention that his negotiated sentence of eight years to life should be reduced to a more lenient sentence. An examination of the plea allocution minutes reveals that defendant, who received a substantial benefit by being allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge in a multi-count indictment, entered his plea with full knowledge of what the range of sentencing would be. Under the circumstances, we find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court.
Mikoll, J.P., Mercure, White, Casey and Yesawich Jr., JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
