People v. Splunge (57 A.D.3d 369, 2008)

The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant youthful offender treatment (see People v Drayton, 39 NY2d 580 [1976]), in view of the violence and other aggravating circumstances involved in the two robberies of which defendant was convicted. We also perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur — Mazzarelli, J.E, Gonzalez, Catterson, McGuire and Acosta, JJ.
