NORWICH – Lindsey L. McGehee, 22, of Afton appeared in Chenango County Court on August 17th, on matters of taking a possible plea bargain after being accused of breaking a baby’s leg.

McGehee appeared with her attorney, Linden Summers. Joseph A. McBride was the District Attorney on the matter.

McGehee and Summers discussed entering a guilty plea to the charge of assault in the second degree, a class D felony.

The proposed sentence for the plea deal, if McGehee were to plea guilty, was one year interim probation with the incentive of the charge being dropped to a misdemeanor pending successful completion of probation.

“If you fail on this interim probation, you could be facing the maximum of seven years incarceration, with one and half to three years release supervision, just as a reminder,” said Chenango County Court Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr.

At this time, McBride asked to speak: “The mother of the victim wants $150 to be paid back to the family in full for traveling expenses,” he said.

Revoir followed this request by stating, “If a plea of guilty is accepted, you will pay the restitution of $150 plus a five percent surcharge at a rate of $25 a month, due to you not being employed at this time. The first payment will be due on or before September 15th of this year.”
