He’s giving up a stolen house for the big
house.
A judge on March 13 sentenced an
East Flatbush man to as many as nine
years behind bars for forging a deed
in order to steal his elderly neighbor’s
house.
Supreme Court Justice Danny
Chun sentenced 37-year-old Winston
Gregory Hall months after a jury convicted
him of second-degree grand
larceny and other charges in October
following a trial last year — during
which Hall, whom offi cials released
without bail after his arrest, went on
the lam, forcing the jurors to convict
him in absentia.
The punishment is a fi tting penalty
for the two-time law-breaker, whom
cops caught up with two months after
his conviction when they stopped
him for a traffi c violation on a Kings
County street, according to Brooklyn’s
top prosecutor.
“This defendant twice showed a
disregard for the rule of law, fi rst by
stealing his neighbor’s house, and
then absconding during his trial,” said
District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. “He’s
now been held accountable.”
Hall in April 2015 established the
Winston Gregory Hall Express Trust,
naming himself as the sole trustee,
and later that month forged a phony
deed transferring ownership of his
84-year-old neighbor’s E. 49th Street
home to his trust, according to prosecutors,
who said the victim lived with
family in faraway New Jersey at the
time.
The defendant then fi led the fake
deed, along with other forged tax documents,
with the New York City Register’s
Offi ce one month later, but when
investigators contacted the victim,
she told them she never knew Hall
and never signed documents transferring
her home to his trust, prosecutors
said.
Gonzalez said his offi ce will continue
to crack down on property
thieves like Hall — whom the jury
also convicted of second-degree criminal
possession of a forged instrument,
and fi rst-degree offering a false instrument
for fi ling — in order to protect local
homeowners from their predatory
practices.
“This case is part of my continuing
commitment to ensuring justice for
Brooklyn homeowners, who are all too
often the target of unscrupulous individuals,”
he said.
