From California-
A former bookkeeper pleaded guilty Thursday in Orange County Superior Court to embezzling money from a Tustin church by writing 154 checks to herself.
Elyse Marie Kennedy, 37, of Santa Ana was sentenced to two years and eight months in state prison for stealing more than $129,000 from the accounts of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, the District Attorney's Office said.
After reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors, Kennedy pleaded guilty to two felony counts of forgery and will face a restitution hearing June 24, the office said.
She had originally been charged with 154 felony counts of forgery with sentencing enhancements and allegations for aggravated white-collar crime. Theoretically, Kennedy could have been sentenced to probation, prosecutors said at the time, and faced a sentence of anywhere from 16 months to 107 years in state prison if convicted.
