ALBANY – An appellate panel in Albany, over the “serious misgivings” of a dissenting judge, has upheld an unusual plea bargain in which the defendant and his codefendants agreed not to testify for each other at trial.
The Greene County case stemmed from an incident in which three masked men and another unidentified individual broke into a house, bound several adults with duct tape and struck a victim with a gun. Duane Dixon and his three codefendants all agreed to the same plea bargain, which barred them from supporting each other at trial in exchange for a sentence of 8 1/2 years in state prison for first-degree burglary.
