Mint Hill man convicted of elder exploitation - Mike Anderson serves as prosecution witness

Mike Anderson, who was a court-appointed Guardian ad litem for an elderly Mint Hill woman victimized by elder exploitation, testified this summer as a key witness for a prosecution in a case that resulted in a rare felony conviction for elder exploitation.

The matter, first brought to the court system by attorney Mark Gott on behalf of the victim's family, commenced as a guardianship proceeding but caught the attention of the Mecklenburg County District Attorney's office - in part thanks to the efforts of Attorney Strat Kiger who was appointed a guardian of the estate for the victim - who prosecuted the offender and obtained a felony conviction.
