Dissenters Would Have Reduced the Defendant’s Sentence—Defendant Was 16 Years Old at the Time of the Offenses and Was Offered a Lower Sentence as Part of a Plea Bargain

Although the Fourth Department affirmed defendant’s conviction and sentence, two dissenting justices would have reduced the defendant’s sentence.  The dissenters noted that the defendant was 16 years old at the time of the offenses and there was a great disparity between the sentence after trial and the sentence offered as part of a plea bargain.  People v Angona, 2014 NY Slip Op 05257, 4th Dept 7-11-14
