"You put a person in a position of trust and then they violate it. I'm not inclined to put her on probation."
-- Florida Circuit Judge
Hale Stancil, who rejected an offer by
prosecutors that would have resulted in former Big Sun Youth Soccer League treasurer
Priscilla Bellcase being placed on five years probation, ordered to pay
full restitution and community service for taking tens of thousands of dollars from the league's bank account. The judge said the proposed punishment didn't fit the crime. Sentencing guidelines
call for anything from probation to 30 years in jail. (
