Jasper Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I wonder where she actually got the money from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Titanic_Mess Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is really shocking! Many of us worked with Darlene for years, and I just can't believe this happened. I am sure there must have been compelling evidence since she was found guilty, but never in a million years would I have guessed she would be involved in something like this. Really a sad situation.

The Interpreter Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 It also makes you wonder how long this had been going on, and if the amount believed to have been embezzled is the real total or just a shadow of what was diverted.

beastrider97 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Maybe she was trying to make a new video game, Grand Theft Auto: Kings Island Edition. Only to get what she deserves for this crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you there. I knew Darlene for several years and would never have suspected this myself. I wonder what her sentence will be for two fourth degree felonies.

Probably a few weeks in a minimum security jail and some community service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-lover Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have known Darlene for maybe 20 years,her husband longer than 20. She is NOT the type to do this crime. She's being used as a 'scapegoat ' to cover up something; too many things were not allowed into the trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 ...if true, probably because the Judge ruled the proffered evidence was irrelevant, not material or repetitive. If that is the case, there are Courts of Appeal to address those issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
