People State New York v. Richard M. Carpenteur

The defendant, Richard M. Carpenteur, pleaded guilty to the crime of robbery in the second degree and was sentenced as a second felony offender under section 1941 -- now section 70.10 -- of the Penal Law. He here challenges the sentence imposed on the ground that, following his earlier conviction in California, he had been adjudicated a youthful offender and that this conviction could not, therefore, be used as a predicate for multiple offender treatment.
