Mar 19, 2015 Court Stories, Features / Columnists, News

A Cummings Lodge father of two appeared in court yesterday to answer to a fraud charge. Marvin Morgan, 26, of 898 Second Street Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara (ECD) accepted that on February 26, at Georgetown, with intent to defraud, he obtained $3,000 from Attorney-at-Law Mr. Lloyd Mark Conway, by falsely pretending to Conway that he was sent by Attorney-at-Law Mr. Andrew Pollard, for the money to file matters in the Supreme Court, knowing same to be false.
Morgan told the court that it was a mistake and he was very sorry for what he did.
His lawyer, George Thomas, asked the Magistrate to be lenient with him since it was his first offence. Thomas stressed that his client is the sole breadwinner for his family that comprises two minor children.
Morgan was subsequently ordered by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, to pay a fine of $20,000.
Failure to pay the fine will result in him being imprisoned for three months.
