onto a Manhattan sidewalk to six months more in prison than the eight years that had been previously reached in a plea deal., Manhattan state Supreme Court Judge Felicia Mennin said she was unconvinced that the 28-year-old Long Island woman took responsibility for her actions on March 10, 2022, when she pushed the vocal teacher, Barbara Maier Gustern, to the ground.
