Embezzlement charges, like any criminal offense, can be fought and beaten in court. There is a reason why being charged and arrested for a crime like embezzlement is not the same thing as being guilty!
If it were, there would be no need for courts and trials. Police would arrest people and send them immediately to prison to serve out their sentence. But that’s not how we do things under our system of justice. You are innocent until proven guilty. And one woman is fighting to prove that, after rejecting a plea offer in an embezzlement case.
In this case, the woman is accused of Embezzlement from a non-profit organization, the American Red Cross, where she provided training in CPR and first aid.
In rejecting the offer, and proceeding with additional court dates and a potential trial on charges of embezzlement and grand theft, the woman has completely maintained her innocence.
She is accused of having work funds sent to her home instead of the office. She maintains that the money use was completely appropriate, and the money was sent to her home instead of the work location because of problems with the bookkeeping system.
Many people automatically assume that an embezzlement case is hard to defend and fight in court, since there is likely a significant paper trail of checks received or money transferred. But there can often be perfectly innocent and legitimate explanations for money transfers that, on the surface, may look suspicious.
To win an embezzlement case, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney who believes in you, and is willing to dig into an often complex paper trail of financial documents, and find the truth of the case.
