Re: bank fraud

Let me get this straight. Your daughter received child support checks written on a closed account? She is charged with theft because she took the money. I think the writer of the checks should also be charged, or at least sued for the money. However, it seems to me that this type of case should not go to trial or result in prison, unless there is more to it than you state. I am guessing the prosecutors think she knew the checks were written on a closed account and may have even given some of the money to her husband. If I misunderstood the situation, please re-write it.
