Court denies appeal from Steuben County man

An Appellate Court on Friday denied an appeal from Kyle Seaton, age 22. In 2014, Seaton was convicted of felony assault. Prosecutors contended and a jury agreed, that Seaton burned a 15-year-old victim and later kicked the teenager in the head and face with steel-toed boots. The injuries caused a traumatic brain injury. Seaton claimed procedural errors during his trial and also alleged ineffective counsel. The Appellate Court disagreed and denied the appeal. He was sentenced to two years in prison but was released last August to parole. The entire decision is HERE.
