Michelle Cawthra Gets Maximum Possible Sentence

Michelle Cawthra apologized in court on Friday and said she took responsibility for diverting tax refunds to business and accounts controlled by her boyfriend.

32 year old Cawthra was sentenced to 24 years and ordered to pay back nearly $10.9 million in restitution.

Cawthra's attorney asked that she be placed in community correctios rather then prison so Cawthra could start paying back money she stole.

Colorado Department of Revenue Director Roxy Huber stated: "When you steal from the taxpayers, the consequences must match the levels of betrayal."

Michelle Cawthra is the granddaughter of former Commerce City Mayor Harold Kite.

It's funny that people think they can get away with these types of crimes. Then in the end they are so remourseful. What a bunch of nonsense!! She deserved life in prison, there is no way she will EVER be able to re-pay 10 million.
