Grand Theft and Organized Fraud allegations accusing the client of misappropriating more than $100,000 in charitable funds for personal use while leading a police-affiliated charity in Boca Raton.
The leader of a Boca Raton police-affiliated charity faced allegations that she used charitable funds for personal expenses, including expenses related to her dogs. Because of the client's public role and the organization's ties to law enforcement, the case drew significant attention.
Counsel challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, disputed the State's characterization of the expenditures as theft rather than authorized spending, and attacked the intent element required for any felony conviction.
