People v. Charles

74 A.D.2d 927, 426 N.Y.S.2d 93, 1980 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 10741

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided March 31, 1980·Published

Opinion

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County, rendered August 31, 1977, convicting him of kidnapping in the second degree and robbery in the first degree, upon a plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. Judgment affirmed. Assuming, arguendo, that the issue was properly preserved for review, it is our belief that the [928]*928charge of kidnapping in the second degree was separately cognizable in the instant case by virtue of the well-known exception to the so-called "merger” doctrine (see People v Cassidy, 40 NY2d 763, 767; see, also, People v Miles, 23 NY2d 527, 539). The sentence imposed was not excessive. Titone, J. P., Gibbons, Gulotta and Martuscello, JJ., concur.
