People v. Baez

95 A.D.2d 653, 464 N.Y.S.2d 359, 1983 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 18546

Opinions

—Judgment rendered May 11, 1981 in Supreme Court, New York County (Dennis Edwards, J.) convicting appellant of robbery in the first degree, modified as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, and sentence is vacated and appellant is resentenced to a term of 5 to 10 years. Upon review we find the sentence originally imposed, 9 to 18 years, to be unduly harsh and severe. In the exercise of our discretion we reduce it to the extent indicated. Concur — Sandler, Carro and Asch, JJ.
