She obviously didn't spend it on plastic surgery.
What are these people thinking?!
Do they really think they'll never get caught?
Also, why aren't businesses and non-profits keeping a better eye on their own books - why let it get this far before something is noticed!?
nearly 300,000 dollars, and she gets released on 1,600 dollars? i bet she may have a few of those laying around somewhere...
yet Bill Hitch stole over 150,000.00 from the Laurel School District and is still a free man.
She make Susan Boyle look like a beauty queen!
