People v. Morales

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Troy K. Webber, J.), rendered November 7, 2011, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of manslaughter in the first degree, and sentencing him to a term of 25 years, with five years’ postrelease supervision, unanimously modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, to the extent of reducing the prison term to 20 years, and otherwise affirmed.

The record is insufficient to establish a valid waiver of defendant’s right to appeal. We find the sentence excessive to the extent indicated. Concur — Tom, J.P, Mazzarelli, Saxe, Moskowitz and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
