Ms. M (DMC No. 10928) (United States District Court, District of Arizona CR12-00354-PHX-DGC): Ms. M worked at the Post Office and had a serious gambling addiction. She eventually stole money orders out of the US Mail totaling $4,500. When she was confronted about this, she admitted to her gambling addiction and paid all the money back.  She was subsequently charged with Theft of Government Monies and was ordered to appear in the US District Court in Phoenix (i.e. Federal Court). We became involved, presented Mitigation that Ms. M had a serious gambling problem, along with other mental health issues. The US Attorney agreed to reduce the charge (per the Sentencing Guidelines) that would allow Ms. M to receive Probation with no days in jail.
