People v. Cintron
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald A. Zweibel, J.), rendered June 19, 2014, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony drug offender, to a term of two years, unanimously affirmed.
