Fedderman
MONTICELLO – A 44-year-old Liberty man has been sentenced in Sullivan
County Court to 10 years in state prison and five years of post-release
supervision for two assaults on his parents.
District Attorney James Farrell said Michael Fedderman pled guilty to
felony assault for separate assaults on his father and mother following
domestic disputes.
Farrell said the case was “particularly troubling” as it involved
elder abuse.
? “The statute is a little bit different for people who are over
65 if you cause physical injury to someone who is over 65 and you are
more than 10 years younger than them. That makes it a Class D violent
felony for which this defendant was sentenced,” the DA said.
A permanent order of protection was issued for the family to prevent Fedderman
from having any contact with them.
Farrell credited the State Police and their Bureau of Criminal Investigation
with investigating the cases.
Fedderman was sentenced last Friday.
