Two sentenced in county court
NORWICH – A number of individuals appeared in county court Friday, one sentenced to one to three years in state prison on a charge of fourth degree grand larceny, while a second received ten years probation after pleading guilty to one count of first degree, felony sex abuse.
• Zachariah M. Burns, 28, Greene, charged with fourth degree grand larceny – a class E felony – was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of one to three years in state prison.
“We have never seen a bigger plague of addiction in this area,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride, alluding to allegations that Burns committed the crime for which he was convicted to fuel a heroin addiction. “Even the crack epidemic was not to the scale of the current heroin epidemic. If anything, people will be safe while you are locked away and I hope you will be able to turn your life around.”
Added Chenango County Court Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr., “I wish you the best of luck and success and hopefully when you get out you will become a productive member of society.”
• Roger H. Shedd, 77, Smyrna, pleaded guilty to one count of first degree sexual abuse, a class D felony, and was sentenced 10 years probation.
“The defendant needs to understand that he is not going to prison because of his age, health, and his cooperation, otherwise he could have served up to seven years in prison,” said McBride. “She (the victim) is afraid all the time and is afraid to go to school.”
An order of protection was also issued for the victim.
• Myron K. Frasier, 47, Norwich, previously convicted on two counts of third degree rape – the victim being less than 17 years of age – is nearing a June 2 conditional release from state prison and appeared in Chenango County Court Friday for the purpose of a sex offender risk level determination. He was issued a Level 2 designation with a moderate risk to reoffend.
• Jeffrey A. Maxson, 47, New Berlin, was released on his own recognizance after appearing in court for the purpose of a bail review. After having served a number of years in state prison for allegedly starting a fire in August 2010 – which destroyed his mother’s trailer home and caused the death of the family’s German Shepherd – Maxson’s conviction has been overturned. Maxson, who pleaded guilty in 2011 to second degree arson, a class B felony, and third degree arson, a class C felony, was deemed to have done so without being adequately aware of a possible intoxication defense.
He is scheduled to re-appear in court at a later date.
