DEFENDANT WAS ADJUDICATED A YOUTHFUL OFFENDER AND SENTENCED TO 60 DAYS IN JAIL AND FIVE YEARS PROBATION FOR STEALING A BREAKFAST SANDWICH FROM A RESTAURANT; EXTENSIVE DISSENT ARGUED THE SENTENCE WAS HARSH AND EXCESSIVE (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department upheld the defendant’s sentence as a youthful offender to 60 days in jail and five years probation. Defendant stole a breakfast sandwich from a restaurant after throwing a banana at an employee, jumping over the counter, saying he had gun, and leaving the restaurant with the sandwich. This decision is significant because of the extensive dissent arguing the sentence was too harsh. People v Guilermo P., 2020 NY Slip Op 03464, First Dept 6-18-20
