DELHI- On June 3, Delaware County District Attorney Shawn J. Smith announced that Aidan M. Demorier, 20, of Johnson City, New York, was sentenced to a period of incarceration lasting between one and one third to four years for the crime of Bail Jumping in the Second Degree, a Class E Felony.
On April 1, 2022, Demorier failed to appear in court after being released on his own recognizance while facing felony charges. He also failed to turn himself in thirty days after missing his court date.
On March 21, 2024, the Delaware County Grand Jury indicted Demorier for the crime of Bail Jumping in the Second Degree. An arrest warrant was issued, and he was taken into custody shortly after. On April 8, 2024, the defendant pled guilty to Bail Jumping in the Second Degree.
On June 3, 2024, the defendant appeared before the Honorable Judge Gary Rosa for sentencing. Pursuant to the negotiated plea between the defense and the District Attorney’s Office, Judge Rosa imposed sentence of an indeterminate period of incarceration lasting between one and one third to four years in State Prison.
First Assistant District Attorney Schuyler Konior Kinneman prosecuted the case.
DA Shawn Smith commented, “Mr. Demorier’s case follows an all too familiar pattern here in New York State as a result of bail reform. A frequent offender gets released on serious charges and then never returns to court to face justice. Thankfully, Bail Reform has not taken away all our tools to hold such individuals accountable. Although it creates additional work for law enforcement and our office, we will vigorously prosecute defendants that fail to return to court.”
