Despite Bloom and Johnson's assertion that the disputes are civil in nature, they noted Friday that Morris has agreed to remove all civil liens as a sign of good faith, "but law enforcement has not responded to this offer."

In fact, some of the property liens became part the basis for new arrests of Morris in East Baton Rouge Parish on Thursday.

Morris, 39, 21313 Turkey Creek, Baton Rouge, was booked into Parish Prison on 12 counts of insurance fraud, contractor fraud, theft, theft of assets of the aged, contracting without a license and filing a false public record.

The counts were part of warrants that deputies in East Baton Rouge and State Police troopers filed against Morris on behalf of six victims. Several of the warrants note that the liens Morris filed in connection with the cases included "misrepresentations of fact."


i guess he does want the liens released...

this does illustrate the very fine line however between civil matters of contract dispute vs criminal matters of fraud. i have no doubt that the CCC contract used was ironclad...whether that is on purpose with the intent to defraud is unclear.

prosecutors are going to have a long row to hoe with this guy. if he has any money left to pay lawyers he can drag this out for years and years. in the meantime the homeowners are left with dick in hand

"Although we believe that civil contractual issues have been mistakenly turned into criminal charges, our company does not want any amount of money owed to our company for work performed to cause any additional pain or discomfort to our clients," the release stated.


Cliff Notes: This has all just been a big misunderstanding.

quote:

Matthew Morris, 41, was in court in Livingston Parish Tuesday morning for a special hearing where he pleaded guilty to one count of filing or maintaining false public records. Despite his guilty plea, Morris said he was pleading guilty “in his best interest but maintains his innocence.”


quote:

Several victims of Morris were in the courthouse as Morris took his first plea since the August 2016 flood. Victims in the courtroom refused to give any victims’ impact statements saying they simply wanted closure and to move on.


quote:

Judge Jeff Johnson sentenced Morris to four years with credit for time served. The total amount of restitution includes is $85,434.30, which would be divided among 11 victims in Livingston Parish.


I guess he got tired of other inmates dumping human shite on him.
