Larceny, False Pretenses. Practice, Criminal, Examination of jurors, Instructions to jury, Duplicative convictions. Jury and Jurors. Words, ""Property,"" ""Credit."" On twelve indictments, a jury found that the defendant, Duddie Ford, Inc. (Duddie Ford), an automobile dealership, ""with intent to defraud and by a false pretense induced the Coolidge Bank and Trust Company to part with property in an amount and of a value in all of more than one hundred dollars,"" in violation of G. L. c. 266, § 34 (1988 ed.). The jury also found on twelve other indictments that Duddie Ford ""with intent to defraud, by a false statement in writing respecting the financial condition, or means or ability to pay, of [a specified individual] obtained credit in an amount and of a value of more than one hundred dollars from the Coolidge Bank and Trust Company,"" in violation of G. L. c. 266, § 33 (2) (1988 ed.). Each of the latter twelve indictments specified a different individual. The twelve indictments under c. 266, § 34, involved the same twelve transactions that gave rise to the indictments under § 33 (2). After the verdicts were rendered, the Commonwealth nol prossed one of the § 34 indictments. Its reason for doing so is unimportant to this appeal. The Judge then imposed sentences on each of the remaining twenty-three indictments.
