People v. Whiting

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Mar 11, 1993
191 A.D.2d 846 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 11, 1993

Appeal from the County Court of Broome County (Mathews, J.).


Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the sentence he received of six months' imprisonment and five years' probation was harsh and excessive. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty to a reduced charge in satisfaction of the indictment. Further, he pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed, which is much less than the harshest possible sentence. Under these circumstances we can find no reason to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v. Mackey, 136 A.D.2d 780, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 899; People v. McManus, 124 A.D.2d 305).

Weiss, P.J., Yesawich Jr., Levine, Crew III and Mahoney, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
