Correct. Ms. Laughlin will indeed have her day in court. Since you are also in the "public", then perhaps you should also not be attempting to proclaim her guilt or innocence outside of court?

Is it not possible that she was duped by the guy? It was a donation to and for the school?

Sure, that is absolutely possible. That is why it seems she has pleaded "not guilty" and will proceed to a trial to explain her side of the story.

But, I also said that Law Enforcement will stack more and more charges on to over whelm and scare them, and that is what they are doing!

Tom, it's a little too broad to say that "law enforcement" are "stacking on" the charges. An FBI Special Agent who specializes in financial crimes is the one who hit everyone with it:

And apparently it was a Grand Jury in Massachusetts which brought on the additional charges:

I'm neutral on the matter. If the woman committed a crime, then may she be found guilty and receive an appropriate sentence. If she is innocent of some or all of the charges, may she be found innocent.
