I'm trying not to be judgemental, but Kimberly Hickman sure looks guilty.
"Kimberly Hickman became the sole beneficiary of the Morabeto's estate after knowing the couple for less than three months. Court documents indicate that Hickman met the Morabetos when she sold them a cemetery plot in June 2005. On Aug. 15, 2005, she became the trustee of their estate."
3 months?
On what I read here: I go along with the jury on their verdict: guilty
Financial Predators work fast, don't they?
yes i agree guilty verdict this babe took advantage of an elderly couple i know exactly how these financial predators think and react and i have seen one in action this would be something you would never forget and have nightmares
Penalties for this type of crime have to be increased in order to discourage these predators.
Yes,Sue, you're right. Financial predators work fast. They're fueled by greed.
