If you can devise a scheme to make $1.5 million selling food intended for school lunches, you are a master criminal on the level of Auric Goldfinger, The Joker, The Riddler or Mr. Freeze!

His attorney said that his client's defense is based on a wing and a prayer.

With today's inflation 1.5 million ain't even worth going to jail for.

Laugh away, but know that in the end this scum bag who was ripping off the school tax dollars will probably never see the inside of a cell, if they do it won't be for long. No, they didn't use a weapon to steal, they used public trust. But then, looking at a lot of those who get elected and reelected, stealing, misusing tax money and time for personnel gain has become acceptable to most of the public.

Prosecutors said it wasn't clear what she did with the chicken wings.

Maybe they should look here and arrest everyone selling "hot wings"!

I agree with Steelslaver on this one. I doubt very much if she'll do much jail time if any at all. And you know they won't make her pay back the $1.5 million...not on her lunchroom salary.
Nope. Probably the worst thing that will happen is she'll have to turn in her school cafeteria name tag and her picture will be taken down from the "Employee of the Month" board.  Unfortunately, that's just the way the system seems to be working nowadays.

Like the stories we all know of mess sergeants skimming rations, pencil whipping the records. What was her excuse-"medical expenses" ?
Makes me wonder what sort of internal controls they had -?

I'd say their poultry controls were paltry!
From the above linked article:
Quote:
... in January 2022, the district business manager conducted a routine mid-year audit and discovered the food service department was more than $300,000 over its annual budget with the school year only about half over...
A closer review uncovered individual invoices signed by Liddell for absurd quantities of chicken wings, prosecutors said.
Surveillance video showed that Liddell showed up at Gordon Food Service to pick up the food orders and would leave with them in a district cargo van. But the food was never brought to the school or the students....
The school district doesn't even serve chicken wings to students because they contain bones...
