mis-using American Express

the tune of $1.8 million are
on trial before Justice April

the owner of Tarrytown
Jewelers - in Hartsdale - took
the stand along with the
purchase orders and depictions
of specialty watches. Inner

Tarrytown
Jewelers is at 273 North
Central Avenue not in
Tarrytown but in Hartsdale
NY. ADA: What do you do
there? Witness: I
oversee. I have 7 employees.
They do sales,
expediting.
ADA: Do you keep
records? Witness: Yes,
invoices of sales. ADA: Where
do you maintain them? Witness:
In the store and on
computer. ADA: I ask the
Court Officer to hand you
People's Exhibit 12. What is
this? Witness: A disk. I
initialed it. It has sales
records from Tarrytown
Jewelers... That is a
representation of a
watch
Witness: That is
the batch total - a
representation of credit card
receipts for the previous day.
On June 29, both
were convicted. Sentence is
set for August 6.
