Morrison was given the same sentence on Thursday, when she continued to insist that she would never use the Morrison name and would have “100% recidivism” if she was forced to.
“I would rather remain in prison for the rest of my life than use that identity,” she said….
Primrose and Morrison had both motioned for name changes prior to sentencing, which were denied by U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi, who nonetheless acknowledged that the couple still consider Fort and Montague to be their “true” names.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Muehleck pushed for a maximum sentence for Primrose and Morrison — 16 months for the conspiracy charges and passport fraud, and 24 months for aggravated identity theft, pointing out that the pair have continued to make false statements about their identities, even during the hearings.
While discussing the pre-sentencing report, Primrose told the court, “I am Bobby Edward Fort, I will not be signing anything that says Walter Glenn Primrose.”
That seems like an extraordinary commitment to the bit. I can’t help but wonder if the couple had some sort of traumatic experience prior to adopting their new identities. Their insistence on continuing to use the old names doesn’t make sense to me otherwise.
