I wonder where she actually got the money from?

The Cage, I believe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are these speculations??

How come it wasn't brought up in the trial?

[The Interpreter]

...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.
