HUDSON — A Stockport man was sentenced Tuesday to 6-18 years in state prison after hiring a man to set his home on fire in 2017.
Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka said Tuesday that County Judge Richard Koweek sentenced Barry Goldstein, 77, to an indeterminate term of 6-18 years in state prison.
“I don’t believe we’ve had an insurance fraud case quite like this in all the years I have been working in the criminal justice system in Columbia County; if so, I do not recall it,” Czajka said.
The sentencing comes about 11 months after Goldstein was found guilty in January 2020 of first-degree insurance fraud, a class B felony, and third-degree arson, a class C felony. The nine-day trial concluded Jan. 15, according to the district attorney. At that time Goldstein had been acquitted of another charge, first-degree reckless endangerment, a class D felony.
