People v. Woodley

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 23, 1991
172 A.D.2d 362 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

April 23, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Robert Haft, J.).


We are unpersuaded that the sentences imposed were unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, "among other things, the crimes charged, the particular circumstances of the individual before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction", we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentences. (People v. Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305.)

Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargains and within statutory guidelines. "Having received the benefit of his bargain[s], defendant should be bound by [their] terms." (People v. Felman, 141 A.D.2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918.)

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Kupferman, Asch and Kassal, JJ.
