People v. Smith

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 6, 1987
132 A.D.2d 583 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

July 6, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Chetta, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The sentencing court did not abuse its discretion in denying youthful offender treatment or in sentencing the defendant to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 5 to 15 years. Despite the defendant's youth and otherwise good background, the fact remains that he knowingly participated in an armed robbery, during which the victim was fatally shot, and shared in the proceeds.

We have examined the issues raised by the defendant in his pro se supplemental brief and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Rubin, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
