7-year Prison Deal for Crash That Injured Police Officer

A 16-year-old who drove a stolen car head-on into an Irvington police cruiser driven by Luigi Osso, accepted a deal today that will send him to prison for seven years.

He faced a maximum sentence of 25-years if he went to trial and was convicted of first-degree assault, the most serious charge.

Instead, he pleaded guilty to an eight-count indictment.  The indictment included two felony counts of first-degree assault - one for injuring officer  Osso while committing a felony, and one count for showing depraved indifference to human life.

Criminal Defense in Westchester County for Violent Crimes: Domestic Violence, Assault, Robbery and Murder

Violent crimes against another person are very serious.  They often result in extensive terms of imprisonment and a lifetime criminal record. Defendants subjected to prosecution for these types of offenses must have a highly experienced, concerned and aggressive lawyer on their side.  

Defending clients in the face of violent criminal charges is challenging.  With a tenacious and aggressive attorney, you can work to build a compelling case that challenges the prosecution's evidence and may result in a "not guilty" verdict. Westchester County criminal lawyer Robert Schuster is uniquely qualified to represent defendants in the face of violent crime charges. With experience as a former prosecutor, attorney Schuster understands both sides of the legal process: the defense and the prosecution. He can use this multi-faceted experience to anticipate the District Attorney's next move and provide more effective legal counsel.
