Sentencing delayed in conviction of contractors
Pensacola News Journal - After nearly six hours of testimony Thursday from several victims and the owners of a company convicted of fraudulent shoddy construction work, Circuit Court Judge Michael Allen delayed sentencing until 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Total Response Systems owners William and Anita Morrison of Missouri were convicted in October. They face a maximum of 17 and 30 years, respectively, on charges of racketeering, tampering with evidence and contracting without a license. The charges against them occurred over a nine-month period -- between November 2004 and August 2005 -- as thousands of area residents were reeling from severe damage to their homes caused by Hurricane Ivan.
