People State New York v. Frank Piscitello

[7 N.Y.2d 387 Page 388] The defendant-appellant stands convicted of the crime of attempted robbery, third degree, entered on his plea of "guilty" taken January 7, 1958 in the Court of General Sessions, New York County, to cover all counts of a second superseding indictment filed by a New York County Grand Jury under date of October 22, 1957 (No. 429 3/4-55). That indictment added one new charge and omitted three of the crimes alleged in indictment No. 429 1/2-55, dated July 28, 1955, containing 12 counts, which indictment superseded indictment No. 429-55, dated February 4, 1955, charging 10 crimes, all growing out of an armed holdup of a restaurant and bar. An indeterminate sentence of a term of 15 years to life was imposed January 14, 1958, for the fourth felony offense.
