North Charleston Corruption Case Closed

Rose Lorenzo, the last defendant in North Charleston’s corruption probe, pleaded guilty to two federal charges involving bribery and theft of nonprofit funds, admitting to wiring $40K into a former councilmember’s account — a case that ballooned from nine to twelve charges. Her lawyer called it a “lapse in judgment,” but the feds seek 48 months, with a possible 15-year max and $500K fine. With her plea, the scandal’s final chapter closes — a sobering lesson on how good intentions can’t excuse breaking the law. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
