Owner of Farmington bond company convicted of fraud

FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) — A Farmington jury has convicted a man for extorting money from a woman who secured a bail bond through his company. The Daily Times of Farmington reports (http://bit.ly/2lR4gB8 ) that Daniel Goldberg Sr. was convicted on Friday of fourth-degree felony fraud and petty misdemeanor fraud. He was charged with fraud after collecting two payments from a woman who did not own money on her bond from a 2014 arrest. Goldberg's attorney said he disagreed with the verdict. He said he plans to file a motion for a mistrial because the court allowed a witness to testify who was not qualified to do so. A sentencing date has not been set.
