COURTHOUSE,
May 22 – Norman Gray is on
trial for allegedly defrauding
Andrea Pizziconi out of
$500,000. On May 22, she
testified before U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer. Inner City
Press was there.
The
Assistant US Attorney had
Pizziconi read her text
messages to Gray on the
fateful days, in the fall of
2020.
She was asking
for her money back, for a
condo she had moved her
belongings into. The seller
asked the super to throw her
out, triggering memories from
her childhood, all in the long
text messages.
Gray, who
was awarded a position at a
Connecticut institution of
higher learning known for
polling, put her off, asking
for more time, including to
visit with her grandchildren.
She obliged him. But the
indictment followed.
Later, Gray's lawyer Martin
Bell, previously an SDNY
prosecutor, conducted an
open-ended cross examination.

The case
is US v. Gray, 21-cr-713
