People v Sasso

Holding The court affirmed the convictions but modified the judgment to make all sentences run concurrently, finding the original consecutive sentence excessive. The court declined to review mixed claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, directing the defendant to pursue them in a CPL 440.10 proceeding.

The court’s words

ORDERED that the judgment is modified, as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice, by providing that all of the sentences imposed shall run concurrently with each other
