(10,559 posts)He said he wasn't going to ask the very STUPID QUESTIONS you were asking because no one cares.
She benefitted from committing bigamy because "she has had a nice life" (her quote) for the last 29 years. She has been treated like Alan Grayson's Wife when she was Robert Carson's Wife (and should have been living with him instead), and then was A Single Person living with a partner who she was lying to about being his wife.
She took assets from her relationship with Mr. Grayson, and used them to hire an attorney named Mr. Gordon Charles Brydger in 1994 to end the first marriage. She did not disclose this to her "second husband" most likely in hopes it would never be discovered. I am frankly surprised none of the Republicans running against Mr. Grayson from 2004 on didn't try to get her thrown in jail, but apparently it is only Democrats who like to attack the VICTIMS OF CRIMES while sympathizing with the criminals who commit fraud.
According to THIS article http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/politics/political-pulse/os-lolita-grayson-files-for-divorce-from-alan-grayson-20140107-post.html SHE filed for divorce, and they have been married for 24 years. (Maybe they lived together for the other 5?)
She benefitted from the fraud. We have no idea what she was doing while still married to Mr. Carson - was she a scammer sending him money? Did she have a secret life with him? Was she sleeping with both of them?
Ah, but honestly, who cares? In this country you can only have one spouse at a time, so she and Mr. Grayson were NEVER legally married, and thus can't get a divorce. He isn't her husband. Now the courts get to sort it out.
It is a mess that Lolita Carson created and I think your post insulting Steve was obnoxious.
