Man could spend life in prison following burglary charge
CHENANGO COUNTY – A Norwich man is facing a burglary charge in Chenango County Court, and with a criminal history spanning approximately 40 years.
Marty Lewicki, of Norwich was charged with third-degree burglary, and third-degree criminal mischief.
Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir Jr. said Lewicki has several prior felony convictions including two violent felonies. In court on Monday, Revoir said Lewicki’s most recent conviction was in 2017 for criminal possession of stolen property, followed by two separate second-degree burglary charges in 2003, and a third-degree burglary charge in 1986.
Revoir said Lewicki had to be remanded based on the prior convictions, and that he qualifies as a potential persistent felon.
According to New York State Penal Law Section 70.10 someone who is labeled a persistent felony offender could see, “extended incarceration and life-time supervision.”
Chenango County Assistant District Attorney Christopher Curley spoke on the issue of Lewicki being labeled a persistent felon, and said it was important to set bail in this case.
“In my eyes, he could potentially be set as a persistent felony,” said Curley. “Due to the fact of your reading of the defendant’s criminal history is the same as mine, I would ask that bail be set in the amount of $20,000 cash.”
Lewicki’s Defense Attorney Alyssa Congdon said while her client’s criminal history spans over 40 years, he also doesn’t have a failure to appear, or a parole or probation violation.
“He has always been present and involved, and in addition my client is an older gentleman with medical concerns,” said Congdon. “My client is not one of high financial gains, and he has resided locally for the majority of his entire life.”
Congdon said Lewicki was cooperative with police throughout the beginning of their investigation, and even turned himself in.
“Given his age, his health conditions, and his history of appearing when requested, I think that should be taken into consideration – the bail requested by the people is extreme given his financial circumstances,” she said.
After hearing the arguments, Revoir set bail to $5,000 cash, $60,000 bond, or a $80,000 bond fully secured. Revoir said the case is pending indictment at this time.
