P. v. Denman
Defendant Eugene Denman targeted nine distressed properties in Riverside County by filing quitclaim deeds transferring title to himself despite having no right of ownership or title in the properties. He also filed homestead declarations for each of the properties making false statements that he was living in them.
Defendant was found guilty of 20 counts of recording false documents and nine counts of perjury. For each property, the jury found true an enhancement that he damaged the property by clouding title and an additional aggravated white collar crime enhancement that the loss for two or more of the nine properties exceeded $500,000.
