Woman sentenced after embezzling from law firm
Criminal Law
A woman was sentenced Monday after she pleaded guilty to stealing from the law firm she worked for.
In January, 24-year-old Christina Coronado admitted she had stolen more than $30,000 from her former employer, Zimmerman Law Firm in Waco. She claimed the money was spent on her children and bills payments.
In April 2008, Coronado embezzled the money while handling the payments and deposits of the law firm. Police say when she was caught, she quit her job and claimed to be moving away.
Coronado is now on probation for the next 10 years and will be forced to pay back about $31,000.
