The Fourth Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of Willie “June” McKoy Jr., a Geneva man.
The Finger Lakes Times also reports the court altered the parole eligibility period, reducing it by ruling that the 15-year sentence for the weapons charge should run concurrently with the 25-year murder sentence.
McKoy was sentenced by State Supreme Court Justice Craig Doran to 40 years to life for the murder and weapons charge, in addition to a seven-year sentence for a felony assault conviction for injuring another inmate at the county jail.
