District Attorney Greg McCaffrey recommended that she receive four months of weekend incarceration at the Livingston County Jail, with work release eligibility.
King pointed out during her plea that she never signed the checks, she only filled in the amounts, dated them, and endorsed them. However, according to New York Criminal Statutes and Rules, the law only requires that one falsely complete a public document to be guilty of Forgery in the Second Degree.
