I checked out several articles about the incident, but, wasn't able to find out what finally happened to her case. The charge wasn't actually shoplifting, it was theft. It sounds as if Towanda may have not been guilty of any crime. She claims the company employee gave her this check and that she did not steal it. She presented the company check to a liquor store either for cash or as payment for a purchase. It should be possible to determine whose handwriting is on the check. If the handwriting is that of the employee who pointed the finger at Towanda, then that evidence should expose him.
Until I know different, I'm going to presume her innocent. Don't you know that just being charged with a crime of moral turpitude must be particularly devastating to her. Remember she was very much on her high horse in the house about people being trustworthy. She especially thought men were ALL dishonest. Since I am now watching season 2, I recently saw her for the second time, recite a list of the hg that she did not trust. I think there were only 1 or 2 that she did trust.
I know she came along way in the house, but, this incident must be a great test of her courage. According to the dates, it looks as if her baby was only a few months old at the time of this incident. She may have been suffering from postpartum depression.
I think she was pregnant at the time. I think the incident happened in Feb... (to the best of my recollection) and I think her baby was born in Oct.. (thereabouts)..
She had probably only been out of the SO house 2 or 3 months or so.. She was the last of the original 6 to leave SO2.
Debby, I think she must have been involved somehow... She used to work for the company and there is no way that she could have justified accepting a check and using it a liquor store. It sounded like she had been gone from the company a year or so... so I don't think it was for back pay... She may have known some of the ins and outs of the company..
I'm surprised that that info on the outcome hasn't come to light. It seems like it would be a matter of public record. But then again, since it was a private company, they may have dropped the charges in exchange for recompensing them the $ that was fraudulently taken.
I know last year (the old boards)... some thought her husband might have put her up to it and been involved.. I think if I recall right.. her husband actually had some criminal history.
The situation was discussed in great length on the old boards last year. Most of us were flabbergasted that she even got herself in that situation.
