The defendant does not appear in court, but is found guilty of the burglary in Albany

A 44-year-old Schoharie County man was sentenced Thursday for robbery, but the defendant wasn’t there to see him.

Patrick Corbett, of Broome, failed to appear in court to hear the jury’s guilty verdict on a charge of second-degree burglary, according to the Albany County District Attorney’s office. Prosecutors said Corbett trespassed into a residence on County Route 12 in the town of Rensselaerville with the intent to steal property.

No sentencing date has been set and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
