By ALAN MAIMON/REVIEW-JOURNAL
Las Vegas jurist falls apart after ensnaring several people. But the police's handling of an informant in a failed investigation of the plot is under scrutiny.
POLICE: CRIMES BY INFORMANTS NOT TOLERATED.
Edward Gould, a Las Vegas man who helped police track a plot to bribe a judge in 2006, found out the limits of that tolerance. Gould, who had worked with police on previous investigations, was charged with crimes that authorities said he committed during a period of time in which he was working with police.
GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE
Six months earlier, Mortensen, with the help of Long, had wrested ownership of a beach home on California's Central Coast from Mortensen's ailing grandmother, Doris Cossovel.
The four-bedroom house in San Luis Obispo County had belonged to Cossovel since 1961, but Mortensen saw it as his rightful inheritance.
Aug. 8, 2007: Long pleads no contest to conspiracy to commit elder abuse. He is fined $2,000.
