Las Vegas business owner, Maurice Carroll is charged with 17 counts of perjury and 17 counts of forgery. Mr. Carroll created fake affidavits of service for his process serving company for a debt collection company. Carroll was a former Las Vegas police officer and should have known better. As a consequence, people named in the affidavits were not notified they were being sued by Richland Holdings.
In October 2010, a jury convicted Carroll of the 17 perjury counts and 17 counts of offering false instruments for record or filing and one count of obtaining money under false pretenses.
District Judge Elissa Cadish later ordered Carroll retried on the perjury counts, and prosecutors obtained an indictment against Carroll on the forgery counts.
On Tuesday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Mike Staudaher told the jury that many of the people Carroll swore he had served in the affidavits weren’t even home at the time. Some were at work, one couple was in England, and one address didn’t even exist, Staudaher said in his opening statement.
