Murder Suspect Tries Mortgage Scam In Attempt To Obtain & Flee With Proceeds

CourierPostOnline.com reports that a New Jersey man facing a murder charge reportedly (and apparently free on bond) plotted with two others to sell a home in Laurel Springs, New Jersey without the property owner's knowledge. Prosecutors claimed that the murder suspect planned to use the proceeds of the phony sale to flee to avoid his murder trial. He was nailed on the mortgage fraud in Federal court and awarded an 83 month visit to Federal prison (said visit was dwarfed by the 64 years in state prison that he got upon his conviction in state court of the murder charge).
