Former financial advisor rejects plea offer
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - A former financial advisor accused of 12 crimes has rejected a plea offer. Multimedia Doreen Dorn was in Oneida County Court Thursday for the offer. Had she accepted it, she would have received six months in jail and five years of probation. If convicted, Dorn could face at least 30 years in state prison if the case goes to trial. Her alleged crimes stem from the theft of more than $350,000 from a now-deceased client. Dorn is due back in court on September 16.

Be nice and hold your decisions until all the evidence is out. Thank you. Flag for moderationFriday, Aug 29 at 5:21 PM fefe4u wrote ...I do believe that it is a chump plea. She should have gotten a lot worse. Rejecting a sweet plea like that is pure stupidity. She's most likely saying, I'm taking it to court for the principle of it. Lady, we all know there are no principles in law enforcement. You take a sweet plea when your offered one, whether your guilty or not. It is said she was stupid doing her crime, I think she was stupid to turn down this deal. Oh, Les Lewis is an outstanding laywer, top notch!

She has no remorse for what she does as long as she gets what she wants...either total control or money...here is to hoping that she finally gets what she deserves...jail.

She'll be 80 or 90 when she gets out. Flag for moderationThursday, Aug 28 at 8:00 PM scott wrote ...another client of Les Lewis..This guy is a criminal himself.....

What does it say about our society when people are allowed to get away with white collar crime over and over again?

However, for as long as she has been in the industry, she is guilty of one thing for sure; Being stupid. You cannot do anything like she did with client funds. The deceased mans family could come after you, even if you did not intend to do anything wrong. I wish her the best and hope that she did not do anything wrong other than being really dumb.
