Florida Lawyer for Accused Bigamist Marries Him, Then Urges Prosecution
When divorce attorney Martha-Irene Weed settled a matrimonial case for George Dumstorf Jr.in 2000, she had to contend with seemingly bizarre allegations of bigamy on the part of his soon-to-be ex-wife.
Then, after the representation concluded, the Florida lawyer married Dumstorf herself, and now she is the one making them, the St. Petersburg Times reported last year.
Although the 69-year-old has pleaded no contest to a bigamy charge in Panama City and will serve time in a federal prison, his sentence will be concurrent with a 27-month term for a federal bank fraud conviction, the Times reports in an update today.
“The women he conned are not pleased with his bigamy sentence, which they said amounts to no punishment at all given that it runs alongside the federal prison time,” the newspaper recounts. “They are also unhappy that he’ll serve his time in federal, not state, prison.”
