HONOLULU (AP) — A Honolulu woman representing herself against allegations she defrauded new homeowners, title companies and banks must prepare for her trial behind bars.
Jennifer McTigue was out on bond awaiting trial. But last week, authorities announced she was a fugitive who was last seen June 30.
Authorities received a tip and found her during the weekend hiding at a friend’s house.
On Monday, a judge revoked her bond.
McTigue says she won’t be able to prepare properly for trial in jail. She says she wasn’t hiding and the government doesn’t have jurisdiction over her.
The judge says that’s not accurate. He says she had ample time to prepare.
Prosecutors say the scheme involved $3 million in property sales using false forms making it look like mortgages were paid.
