The 18-year sentence of a Jersey City man convicted of the armed robbery of a McDonald’s restaurant in Bayonne in 2002 has been upheld by an appeals court, The Jersey Journal reports.
The three-time loser had argued that he wasn’t represented properly by his public defender attorney and that he should be granted a lighter sentence because he had joint-custody of his daughter.
The Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey issued the ruling Thursday, upholding the November 2003 sentence of Darnell Williams, 42, of Jersey City.
