Libby Keeling reports in the Evansville Courier & Press in a long story:
An Evansville attorney who pleaded guilty to bilking clients out of more than $58,000 to fuel a gambling addiction now has been convicted of stealing about $33,000 from a company that hired him after his license to practice law was suspended.Allan G. Loosemore Jr., 53, was found guilty of one count of forgery, a class C felony, and 14 counts of theft, a class D felony, Wednesday after a three-day trial in Vanderburgh Circuit Court. * * *
In interviews with the Courier & Press in 2002, Loosemore said he turned to gambling as a way to cope with personal and professional setbacks.
In 2003, he pleaded guilty to theft, forgery and fraud and was sentenced to eight years on reporting probation and ordered to pay full restitution of more than $58,000.
