Serial Bigamist Has Good Excuse

January 8, 2004 — A brazen bigamist has told a judge why she married 27
times – without ever divorcing – in a lucrative immigration scam: because
she was a single mom.

"
I was a single mother on public assistance," Mother of all Brides
Dezerrie Cortes told a Manhattan judge in a stunningly nervy "Have
Mercy" letter made public yesterday, as she was led out in cuffs
to serve six months in jail.

Dowbrigade covered
this story when it originally hit in August. Six
months in jail is all she got! That’s only a week per marriage! After
27 weddings one would think she might enjoy
six
months
of
peace
and solitude,
just
to
cool
down.
Just one question – does she have to return the wedding gifts? Now there’s
one for Miss Manners.
