People v. Weigand

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 31, 1992
188 A.D.2d 941 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

December 31, 1992

Appeal from the County Court of Tompkins County (Friedlander, J.).


Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the sentence of concurrent terms of imprisonment of 2 1/3 to 7 years upon his plea of guilty of two counts of vehicular manslaughter in the second degree was harsh and excessive. While the sentence is the harshest possible for the crimes to which defendant pleaded guilty, as part of the plea bargain the remaining five counts of the indictment were dismissed. In addition, defendant's plea was given with the knowledge that he could receive the sentences ultimately imposed. Given these facts, we find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v Felman, 141 A.D.2d 889, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918; People v Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899).

Weiss, P.J., Levine, Mahoney, Casey and Harvey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
