Turner opts out of trial, enters five guilty pleas

NORWICH – A man admitted to beating two adults and now sits in the Chenango County Correctional Facility without bail awaiting sentencing.

Christopher L. Turner was arrested in April of 2014 following a call of a domestic dispute. It was alleged that he unlawfully entered a residence, and while inside injured two adult victims, while four children were also in the home.

Turner was facing a ten count indictment. A Chenango County grand jury indicted Turner on the following charges in May 2014: two counts of first degree assault, a class B felony; burglary in the first degree, a class B felony; burglary in the second degree, a class C felony; assault in the second degree, a class D felony; aggravated criminal contempt, a class D felony; and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor.

On Nov. 2, 2015, Turner appeared in Chenango County Court with his attorney F. Paul Battisti for the purpose of possibly changing his pleas from not guilty to guilty.

First Assistant District Attorney Michael Ferrarese appeared on behalf of the people.

Chenango County Court Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. presided over the matter.
