LARCENCY BY FALSE PRETENSE OVER $250: DISMISSED upon MOTION

Defendant was alleged to have defrauded three local businesses by selling them false advertising space in a newspaper publication. In his Motion to Dismiss, Attorney Noonan argued that the victim-businesses did not “part with their personal property,” which is a legal element needed to support the charge.
