| | False pretenses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Under common law, false pretense is defined as a representation of a present or past fact, which the thief knows to be false, and which he intends will and does cause the victim to pass title of his property. | | | False pretenses or obtaining property by false pretenses is a common law crime ; it is also a statutoraly created law to handle situations where | | | Simply making a false promise or statement is not sufficient. |

| | Technically, however, theft by false pretenses was regarded as distinct from common law larceny because it involved a consensual transfer of title to the thief, albeit a consent wrongfully obtained through fraudulent representation of fact. | | | On appeal, the defendant argued that her conduct amounted to false pretenses, not larceny, and therefore that she was wrongfully convicted of violating Section 2113(b), because her execution of the withdrawal slips constituted a misrepresentation on her part that induced the bank to transfer title and possession of the money. | | | The 1937 enactment, in addition to omitting the specific reference to false pretenses that had been in the 1934 bill proposed by the Attorney General, also omitted the language "without the consent of such bank" that described a trespassory taking, which was an essential element of common law larceny. |

| | "False pretenses" is not statutorily defined, although it is defined by the courts as follows: false statements about some prior or existing facts. | | | The Penal Law specifically defines "false promise" as "[a] person obtains property by false promise when, pursuant to a scheme to defraud, he obtains property... | | | While the scheme to defraud sections do not specifically define these latter terms, the terms "false pretenses" and "false promise" are also contained in title J of the Penal Law (Offenses Involving Theft) [***31] (Penal Law § 155.05 [2] [a], [d]). |

| | The term ''false pretense'' as used in the statute means a false representation of fact. | | | It would not be obtaining property under false pretenses where possession of the property was intended to be acquired for some temporary use of relatively brief duration, after which the property would be returned or recovered. | | | Furthermore, a mere statement of opinion, as distinguished from a statement of fact, is not a false pretense under the statute. |

| | The trial court's instructions on the corroboration necessary for individualized determinations of guilt properly stated the law of corroboration in false pretense cases. | | | Trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying motion to sever made by co- owners and salespersons charged with obtaining money under false pretenses for their participation in a telemarketing scam since co-owners and salespersons were appropriately charged in a single indictment and no prejudice was shown to have resulted from joinder. | | | The Supreme Court held that: (1) testimony of unconnected victims who were defrauded in scam constituted corroborating circumstances to support false pretense convictions; (2) offense of conditioning prize upon a purchase is not a lesser included offense of obtaining money under false pretenses; and (3) denial of defendants' motion to sever was proper. |

| | People v. Norman, 85 N.Y.2d 609 (1995) |
| | Defendant King, who was also convicted of larceny, contends that the case against him was erroneously submitted as a larceny by false pretenses rather than a larceny by false promise and that, accordingly, he was wrongly deprived of the benefit of the higher burden of proof that is required in connection with the latter crime. | | | Their appeals from the judgments ofconviction require us to revisit the specialized requirements for the crimes that were known as larceny by false promise and larceny by false pretenses before the adoption of the Penal Law. | | | With regard to larceny by false pretenses, the Penal Law incorporates the historical elements that were applied at common law, i.e., a false material statement about a past or presently existing fact (Penal Law § 155.05 [2] [a]; see, People v Churchill, supra). |

| | During the common law era, for the statutory crime of false pretenses to occur, the misrepresentation needed to be affirmative in nature. | | | For example, if D pays V for a car with counterfeit money, this would be false pretense in the sense that D obtains title and possession to the car based on D's present misrepresentation that the money as real. | | | Finally, since false pretenses required a specific intent to steal, i.e., defraud, valid mistake of fact or intoxication or claim of right might be potential defenses. |
