The New York County Supreme Court convicted Palladino of criminal contempt in the first degree, resisting arrest, assault in the third degree, harassment in the second degree, and, sentenced her to five years' probation.
The Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the outcome and noted "that the injuries were more than mere 'petty slaps, shoves, kicks and the like …' and satisfied the element of physical injury."
The AD1 further ruled that the background evidence, which related to orders of protection that had been secured against Palladino, was relevant to motive and intent and "inextricably interwoven with the charged crimes."
We're finished kicking that one around.
