Description
[73 N.Y.2d 140 Page 144] Opinion OF THE COURT Appellants Morris Leisner and Max Marx were indicted on December 14, 1984, and charged with one count
of conspiracy and numerous substantive counts of attempted extortion and coercion based upon their alleged involvement in
a plot to force tenants from their rent-controlled apartments.1 Appellants, who owned several buildings in Manhattan
both individually and jointly, allegedly sought to rid the buildings of tenants by instilling fear of personal injury and
property damage, thereby increasing the buildings' resale value. Ultimately, appellants were convicted solely of conspiracy
in the fourth degree (Penal Law § 105.10 [1]), and sentenced to indeterminate terms of imprisonment of from 1 to 4 years.
