"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Fahey, 63 N.Y.S.3d 306 (Table) (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 2017):
Firstly, the defendant's concurrence that the property in issue had a value of over one thousand dollars did not constitute a negation of an essential element of the crime, nor did it cast doubt on the defendant's guilt or on the voluntariness of his plea to guilty of the crime of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree (cf., Lopez, at 66667; see also, People v. Seeber, 4 NY3d 780, 781782 [2005] ).
