The People v. George Garcia

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed Garcia's convictions and sentence, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in limiting voir dire, that the COVID-19-based sentencing challenge did not warrant reversal, and that the Appellate Division lacked authority to reduce the sentence below the statutory minimum. The court declined to reach Garcia's facial and as-applied Second Amendment challenges because they were raised for the first time on appeal and were unpreserved.
