Mortgage Fraud Trials Continue With Susan Newell, Ed Bohler, Who Are Pretty Much As Doomed As This Flaming Peep Candy!

The photo above is a marshmallow Peep candy being roasted alive in a fire. The disturbing incident happened last night at the "condemned house party" sponsored by Realtor and all-around hottie Connie Nompelis. (No-bell-iss) The photo has little to do with the subject matter of this post. 

OR DOES IT? Blah ha ha ha. 

In trying to find something to fill the huge void in my life after the conclusion of the Larry Maxwell mortgage fraud trial, I happened to hear about Susan Newell and Ed Boler. This (alleged) mortgage fraud ring was discovered in the wake of an arson investigation in Brooklyn Center. Though Newell and Boler are being tried separately, they are (alleged) co-conspirators.

The first trial of Susan Newell resulted in a mistrial, but word on the street is that...



...prosecutors learned lessons, and successfully applied those lessons in the Larry Maxwell trail. "Breaking things down" and finding ways to simplify and summarize was particularly important. Of course, it's impossible to factor in an oddball juror or two, which is probably why the defense is taking this stuff to trial in the first place; not hoping for victory so much as jury hanging until kingdom come.



Word is Ed Boler's trial is currently scheduled for May 26, 2009. Susan Newell's second trial will take place some time in September. How much would you like to wager that Ed Boler will be a witness at that second trial, and will completely rat out Susan Newell in exchange for a lighter sentence? When women go to prison, statistically it's often out of loyalty to their man. I doubt if Newell is smart enough to avoid making that common mistake.



Of course, to citizens of North Minneapolis, the Newell/Boler matters are only of passing interest. The real excitement is currently over Tynessia Snoddy, who was all tangled up with Larry "Maximum" Maxwell. Maxwell, meanwhile, was involved with a Whos' Who of North Minneapolis movers and shakers. (Albeit not all of them well-regarded beyond their own social circles)



Though I may not be able to attend any of these trials, this blog will be happy to receive information and/or photos concerning these messy mortgage fraud matters.



As bad as mortgage fraud may be, it has finally made property so affordable in North Minneapolis that massive revitalization is busting out all over.



So I say this: round them all up, and put them all on trial.
