Over the last 15 years, Justice Vincent Del Giudice has been
by far the most punitive active judge in New York City and its suburbs,
so much so that appellate courts have reduced 19 of his sentences for being too excessive. The active judge with the next most such reversals has 8, and the overwhelming majority of judges presiding over criminal cases have none. Further, the total number of years reduced off sentences imposed by Justice Del Giudice is several times higher than that of any other active judge: Del Giudice's sentences have had a total of 503 years taken off, compared to 80 years for the judge with the next highest total.
