The Appellate Division, First Department, upheld the judgments against Carlos Falu in the case "People v. Falu," decided on December 13, 2018. The appeal stemmed from judgments rendered by the Supreme Court in Bronx County, with Justice George Villegas overseeing the initial plea and Justice Richard Lee Price handling the second plea and sentencing, both dated April 28, 2016. The court, after hearing arguments from both the appellant's counsel, Christina A. Swarns, and the respondent's counsel, Darcel D. Clark, found the sentence not to be excessive. Consequently, the court affirmed the judgments from the lower court. The decision serves as the official ruling of the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
