Stephanie Hockridge Appeals PPP Fraud Verdict | Phoenix News

Stephanie Hockridge, the former news anchor convicted in a massive PPP loan fraud scheme during the pandemic, is fighting her 10-year sentence on appeal — arguing key evidence was wrongly excluded, jury instructions were flawed, and the trial location was improper. Her husband, Nathan Reis, has already pleaded guilty and is serving his own 10-year term; together they’re ordered to repay over $60 million — though that’s on hold pending appeal. The feds are standing firm, claiming the evidence is ironclad and any procedural errors wouldn’t have swayed the verdict. With arguments set for November, this high-stakes appeal could reshape Hockridge’s future — and the nation’s view of pandemic-era financial accountability.
