Read the official decision: 2026 NY Slip Op 06145
Holding The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding the evidence legally sufficient and not against the weight of the evidence to support the convictions for attempted assault and other charges. The court further held that the sentence was not excessive and that the disparity between the trial sentence and the plea offer did not establish vindictiveness.
