They do sales, expediting.  ADA: Do you keep records? Witness: Yes, invoices of sales. ADA: Where do you maintain them? Witness: In the store and on computer.  ADA: I ask the Court Officer to hand you People's Exhibit 12. What is this? Witness: A disk. I initialed it. It has sales records from Tarrytown Jewelers... That is a representation of a watch   Witness: That is the batch total - a representation of credit card receipts for the previous day. On June 29, both were convicted. Sentence is set for August 6. *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
