Didn't Hutto also get charged? I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteShe got three months. Seems like she got a good deal. Now she's moved North living on all the money she stole from sad old people. Seems like the answer is for a lawyer, get a member of your staff to take the punishment! What a cow.!
ReplyDeleteI think there was an article more recently saying that she had overcharged people by $100k and that she had to pay it back? Has she done this I wonder? Possibly there are more cases yet to be investigated. Possibly she will get her proper sentence yet? We can only hope.
ReplyDeleteSurely Hutto was the real criminal here. She still has her pictures with Lunceford enjoying holidays together on web sites. The woman is old enough to be his grandmother and they went on holiday together. It is sick.. What a cow.
