People v. McNaney
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment
We reject defendant’s contention that the sentence is unduly harsh and severe. Supreme Court appropriately balanced defendant’s lack of a prior criminal history and other circumstances in defendant’s favor with the fact that defendant committed a crime that resulted in the death of an infant. The court did not abuse its discretion in imposing a term of incarceration. Defendant’s contention that the court failed to hold a hearing to determine the validity of certain statements made by the infant’s father found in the presentence report is not preserved for our review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]), and in any event is without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Rossetti, J. — Criminally Negligent Homicide.) Present — Pigott, Jr., P. J., Green, Hayes, Kehoe and Law-ton, JJ.
