People v. Townsend

People v. Townsend
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 2, 1989
155 A.D.2d 233; 546 N.Y.S.2d 616; 1989 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 13717
People v. Townsend

Opinion of the Court

We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, “among other things, the crime 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 sentence (People v Farrar, 52 NY2d 302, 305).

Further, defendant was sentenced in accordance with his plea bargain and defendant should be bound by its terms (People v Felman, 141 AD2d 889, 890, lv denied 72 NY2d 918). Concur — Murphy, P. J., Ross, Ellerin, Smith and Rubin, JJ.
