Convicted Insurance Fraudster Appeals Finding She Breached Probation 

https://zalma.com/blog

Fraud Perpetrators Have Unmitigated Gall  Kristi Heffington appealed from the revocation of her probation. She  argued on appeal that the revocation court\\u2019s decision was error even  though it was proved that she had sent text messages to herself claiming  it came from her past employer dentist who fired her for stealing from  his practice and defrauding insurers.

In Kristi Heffington v. State of  Maryland, No. 1899, Court of Special Appeals of Maryland (July 1, 2021)  the appellate court wasted much time dealing with her spurious  allegations in an attempt to avoid jail.  ZIFL OPINION  I am always amazed at the unmitigated gall, the \\u201cchutzpah\\u201d of those  convicted of insurance fraud, who use the courts to spend more time and  money than the fraudster stole. Ms. Heffington pleaded guilty to the  crime. She was lucky, she only had to serve 9 months of a ten year  sentence and leave the dentist she stole from alone. She couldn\\u2019t  resist. She harassed the dentist and tried to get the court, with false  evidence, to remove her obligation to make restitution. She got caught  and was sentenced to spend another 9 months and she appealed that. She  should have been sentenced to serve the full 10 years. Punishment needs  to be real if it is to deter future wrongful actions.  Refusal to Testify at Examination Under Oath is a Breach Condition  Precedent Court Of Appeal Requires Third Trial of Breach of Condition Precedent  Case Health Insurance Fraud Convictions Videos on YouTube and Zalma on Insurance from Barry Zalma  Other Insurance Fraud Convictions New and Now Available from the Zalma Insurance Claims Library   \\xa9 2021 \\u2013 Barry Zalma Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE, now limits his practice to  service as an insurance consultant specializing in insurance coverage,  insurance claims handling, insurance bad faith and insurance fraud  almost equally for insurers and policyholders.  He also serves as an arbitrator or mediator for insurance related  disputes.
