Check Cashing Corpse Case Dismissed

Remember the case of the two elderly men who brought their dead friend to a check cashing place to case his social security check? As it turns out, the gentlemen may not have been dead after all:

Since prosecutors could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Cintron had died before leaving the apartment en route to Pay-O-Matic, Judge Evelyn Laporte dismissed the forgery and larceny charges against Mr. O’Hare and Mr. Daloia.

Sometimes we are quick to think the worse of people. This was probably just a case of friends trying to help each other out.
