People v Gray

Holding The judgment convicting the defendant of scheme to defraud in the first degree is affirmed because the People proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the court had territorial jurisdiction. The defendant’s admission during plea allocution that he consigned stolen items to be sold in a New York auction house satisfied the jurisdictional requirements.
