The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Joseph Goldstein, Appellant

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant was not misinformed about the benefit of a concurrent sentence, that the plea allocution was adequate despite the defendant’s inability to recall specific near‑misses, and that the sentencing court did not abuse its discretion in enhancing the sentence for the defendant’s failure to appear.
