New York Supreme Court March 15, 1983 (People v. Firestone)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Benjamin Altman, J.

It is relatively rare in a six-defendant case that only one makes application to waive his right to a jury. Yet in this proceeding such motion was made. The six defendants herein were indicted for conspiracy, scheme to defraud, violation of the Martin Act (General Business Law, § 352 et seq.) and related crimes.
