People v. Whittaker

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 19, 1990
159 A.D.2d 666 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 19, 1990

Appeal from the County Court, Orange County (Byrne, J.).


Ordered that the sentence is affirmed.

The sentence imposed does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of constitutional limitations (see, NY Const, art I, § 5; US Const 8th Amend; People v Jones, 39 N.Y.2d 694; People v Broadie, 37 N.Y.2d 100, cert denied 423 U.S. 950). Furthermore, the sentence, which was the product of a negotiated plea bargain and is within the legally permissible range for a class B violent felony offense (see, Penal Law §§ 70.02 [a]; [3] [a]; [4]), is not unduly harsh or excessive (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816). Thompson, J.P., Lawrence, Sullivan, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
