Ridiculous sentence. News said she faced 30-something years.

 

"A top aide to former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter pleaded guilty to stealing city funds and using that money for her own benefit, the Pennsylvania Attorney General announced Friday.

Desiree Peterkin Bell served as City Representative from 2013 to 2015, overseeing the Mayor's Fund and funneling some of that public money into her private life.

On Friday, she was sentenced to 90 days to 23 months of house arrest followed by 12 months of probation and ordered to pay $19,807.23 in restitution.

Peterkin Bell surrendered to authorities in November 2018 after a grand jury investigation accused her of misusing two credit cards belonging to the Fund for Philadelphia.

She was charged with stealing $20,000 through the use of those credit cards and misspending another $225,000 from the fund, Shapiro said."
