Tennessee Democratic state senator convicted of wire fraud

Sen. Katrina Robinson was accused of using grant money to pay for her wedding, honeymoon, subsequent divorce fees and home renovations

 

A jury found state Sen. Katrina Robinson guilty on four out of five counts after she was unexpectedly acquitted by a judge days earlier on 15 separate counts for fraud, theft, and embezzlement, according to FOX 13 in Memphis.

Her defense had requested all 20 charges be dismissed for insufficient evidence. 

After the acquittals, she was convicted of stealing around $3,400, far less than the more than $600,000 she was originally accused of taking from the school before she was elected.
