East Flatbush man headed to prison for
forging deed, stealing oldster’s house
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
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
CAUGHT: A judge sentenced Winston Gregory Hall
to as many as nine years in prison for forging a
deed to steal his neighbor’s home. District
Attorney’s Offi ce
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 seconddegree
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.
anticipated on the Botanic
Garden,” said Lupe Todd-
Medina.
Todd-Medina further
alleged that her bosses at
Continuum Company attempted
to speak to garden
brass about the development,
but that the
horticulturists routinely
brushed their proffered
olive branch aside.
“To date, all outreach
and requests to meet have
been rejected,” she said.
City Planning bigwigs
are accepting written public
comments on the rezoning
proposal through
March 25, after which
Continuum honchos must
compile their environmental
impact statement
for the upzoning, which
will then begin its journey
through the lengthy
Uniform Land Use Review
Procedure, where it will
again go before the City
Planning Commission, as
well as the local community
board, Council, and
ultimately Mayor DeBlasio.
The public can submit
written comments about
the Franklin Avenue rezoning
request to the Department
of City Planning
