Estranged Wife Convicted Of Forging Soldier/Husband's Name On Checks; Sells Family Home Without His Knowledge

In Minnesota, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports:

• Dana M. Kieser deceived and defrauded her husband when he was at his most vulnerable, serving in Iraq with the Minnesota National Guard, a Ramsey County jury heard [last week]. She closed out John Kieser's retirement and college-savings accounts, forged his name on two checks totaling almost $25,000, bought a home in Fargo, N.D., and sold their home in Maplewood -- all without his knowledge or consent, prosecutor Laura Rosenthal said. [...] The jury agreed and returned after just an hour and a half of deliberations with guilty verdicts on two counts of check forgery.
