Greene man rejects second plea offer in burglary case, takes case to trial
NORWICH – Anthony W. Irwin appeared back in the Chenango County Court for another plea offer from the Chenango County District Attorney's Office last Friday, Sept. 9.
Irwin, 56, of Greene, faces charges of burglary in the third degree, a class D felony; grand larceny in the fourth degree, a class E felony; and petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor.
It is alleged that Irwin stole $1,700 in cash register receipts from a local business.
In a previous appearance, Irwin rejected a plea offer of an indeterminate sentence of three to six years in the New York State Department of Corrections.
In court on Friday, the District Attorney's Office outlined a separate plea that would require Irwin to plead guilty to burglary in the third degree, a class D felony, in exchange for an indeterminate sentence of two to four years in the New York State Department of Corrections. Irwin would also be required to pay the entire amount of the restitution owed in the case.
John Cameron, who was assigned to represent Irwin in the case, informed the court that Irwin wished to also reject this proposed offer and proceed to trial.
Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr., who presided over proceedings, inquired if Irwin did, in fact, wish to reject the plea offer, to which Irwin replied that he did. Revoir then informed Irwin that, seeing as he is a predicate felon, if he is convicted after trial, he could face a sentence of three and a half to seven years in the NYS Department of Corrections.
In light of Irwin's latest rejection, Chenango County District Attorney Joseph McBride, who represented the people of Chenango County in the matter, said, “This defendant is facing substantial time in State Prison. He has been to State Prison before, and has every reason to flee the jurisdiction. We are asking that he be remanded on $50,000 cash bail.” He continued, saying, “the defendant is doing everything in his power to adjourn this matter. He has 11 involvements with the New York criminal justice system.”
Cameron spoke on his client’s behalf, saying, “While Mr. Irwin has been out, he's been treated at New Horizons, in Binghamton. He's been doing exceedingly well. He has two full-time jobs.”
Originally, Judge Revoir decided to continue Irwin's release on his own recognizance, but then opted to set bail at $10,000 cash, or $20,000 bond.
The case is now proceeding to trial, with hearings having been scheduled to happen within the next 45 days.
