Opinion
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Christopher Gilliard, Appellant.
[MAJORITY]
Judgment of resentence, Supreme Court, New York County (Leon Becker, J.), rendered on December 1, 1987, convicting defendant of robbery in the second degree and sentencing defendant to an indeterminate term of imprisonment of 6 to 12 years, unanimously affirmed.
We are unpersuaded that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh or severe. Taking into account, "among other things, the crime charged, the particular circumstances of the individual before the court and the purpose of a penal sanction”, we perceive no abuse of discretion warranting a reduction in sentence.
