Heading: Joint and Several Liability for Karen Morriss

Text: Karen Morriss also argues, without providing any support, that “[e]ven if [the amount she spent] was held to be a fraudulent transfer, her liability should not exceed that amount which - 10 - Nos. 04-6334/6335 Tareco Props. v. Morriss represents checks she received, or checks which she wrote to others, drawn on the Amy Morriss account.” This argument is frivolous. It is well settled in Tennessee that conspirators are jointly and severally liable, and it makes no difference how the “booty” is distributed. Brumley v. Chattanooga Speedway & Motordrome Co., 198 S.W. 775, 776-77 (Tenn. 1917); see also Trau-Med of Am., Inc. v. Allstate Ins. Co., 71 S.W.3d 691, 703 (Tenn. 2002) (“Upon a finding of conspiracy, each conspirator is liable for the damages resulting from the wrongful acts of all co-conspirators in carrying out the common scheme.”). Because the district court found Karen Morriss to have conspired in the fraudulent transfers, she is jointly and severally liable for the entire judgment.
