Citation: Not availableDocket: KA 13-00489
Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York; February 5, 2015; New York; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Jesse Bonner, the defendant-appellant, was convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree following a guilty plea. The appeal challenges the validity of his waiver of the right to appeal and the severity of his sentence. The court found that Bonner knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently waived his right to appeal his conviction. However, this waiver did not extend to challenges regarding the severity of the sentence, as there was no indication in the record of such a waiver. Despite this, the court ruled that the sentence imposed was not unduly harsh or severe. The judgment from the Supreme Court, Erie County, was unanimously affirmed.
