## Resource

Margaret Jacovelli, who embezzled over £128,000 from an energy company just before it collapsed, received a lenient sentence after pleading her case as a devoted single mother caring for her daughter with serious medical needs. Though the court acknowledged her crimes and her defense’s claim that she didn’t personally benefit, the sheriff ultimately opted for two years of social work supervision, 300 unpaid hours, and a six-month electronic curfew — avoiding jail — citing her caregiving role and clean past. A former partner was blamed by her lawyer, but the sheriff called that “convenient,” noting the ex-partner faced no charges. The sheriff warned future offenses would lead to prison, and proceeds of crime action remains pending. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
