Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
Forgery and idenity thief
I was taking care of and old lady and she decided to go to a nursing home, she asked me to take a check and cash $5,000 and hold it for her, so the home would'nt take it, then she decided she wanted it back, so i put it back into her acct. A few weeks later she changed her mind and she asked me to write it out a gain $5,000, and i held it for her, she changed her mind again a few weeks later, and i put it back into her acct. Now that shes been in the home for a while and her neice has taken care of her, she had a lawyer check into her acct. And saw the 2 checks for $5,000 each in my name, and said she knew nothing about it, well i got arrested for two counts of forgery, but i have proff that i put it back into her acct. I have a check written out to her for $5,000, but the other i put in cash, i had one of her old statements from her acct, that shows i made a deposit for $5,000, will this get me off the hook? She also said i could use her name etc. To set up and acct. And she saids now. That she did'nt. So they also arrested me for idenity thief. Her neice put her up to this, she is in her late 80's i took care of her for over 9 years. She really love me and my family. I'm 53 and have'nt been in trouble. Thanks
