A homeless blind man who stole a Brooklyn apartment building from a man with the same name by faking paperwork was convicted of fraud and grand larceny Wednesday.
Ralph Baker, 64, wore a prison-made T-shirt that read “Not Guilty!” in Brooklyn Supreme Court and kept up his wily attempts at freedom even after the jury found him guilty.
“Can I appeal?” Baker said after the verdict. “After your sentence,” his lawyer, Jay Cohen, told him.
Baker faces up to 15 years behind bars.
