"Your link doesn't say anything differently from mine."
Your link:
Hopkins told Bell that she emptied her pension — she didn’t know how much was in it but said, after taxes, she received about $20,000 — to pay her bills after the school fired her.
No mention about emptying her pension was against the law, and that was the reason the judge gave for giving her time.
My link:
Bell quickly quizzed Hopkins about her pension and how much money she took out after her arrest. She eventually said she took all of it out.
Ohio law requires any money left in the public pension account of someone convicted of theft in office to go toward restitution. Hopkins told Bell that she did not know about the law and that she took the money out to pay her bills because she lost her job.
“You knew that you had stolen money,” Bell said. “You didn’t use that money to pay restitution that you knew you owed.”
Bell told Hopkins that she compounded her situation by taking money out of her account.
Clearly explains why Hopkins was sentenced to the time she got.
Your link:
Unlike Bosworth, Hopkins had already found a new job, completed an in-patient program for her gambling addiction and had promised to repay the money she stole.
Using the phrase, "Unlike Bosworth" your biased reporter is insinuating that Bosworth didn't pay the money back.
My link:
Bosworth resigned from the village shortly after village officials caught her in 2019 and began paying back the stolen money before she was charged. She also kept her pension intact and allowed prosecutors to seize more than $200,000.
Clearly explains that Bosworth began paying back the stolen money, and then her intact pension was used to pay it back also.
How retarded do you have to be not to see the difference?
This reporter writes this biased bullshit because they know there are idiots out there like you who will gulp it down without questioning anything.

Your post proves you're racist as well as illiterate and stupid since your own link is criticizing the racism, too!
Only a vile racist like yourself who believes a white woman repeatedly stealing over a period of 20 years ($20k ea. yr.) for a total of $250,000 committed a lesser crime than a recently unemployed, formerly mentally-ill black woman stealing one time out of economic desperation ($40k) who has since rehabilitated herself with therapy, a new job and repaying $5k.

"since your own link is criticizing the racism, too!"
Really? The article I posted doesn't mention the races of the two women. So how is it criticizing the racism?
I'll be waiting for your explanation.
"Only a vile racist like yourself who believes a white woman repeatedly stealing over a period of 20 years ($20k ea. yr.) for a total of $250,000 committed a lesser crime than a recently unemployed, formerly mentally-ill black woman stealing one time out of economic desperation ($40k) who has since rehabilitated herself with therapy, a new job and repaying $5k."
Blah, blah, blah. It's obvious you're too stupid to see the differences in the cases explained in the article. The racist is you, because you only see the races of the two women involved, not the facts surrounding the cases.
Like I said, the author of the article you posted knew her target audience: Dumbasses like you who have no critical thinking skills.

My poor intellectually-challenged friend is confused by my hint which was "SEE THE OBVIOUS". I'll give another.
The race of each women is easy to find even for an illiterate like yourself. The hint is that reading is practically unnecessary, therefore a quote isn't what you need to find.
If you're still too stupid to find the obvious, I'll tell you.
But you must admit you have no critical thinking skills and that I'm smarter than you. Of course, if you still cant find it, then your lack of thinking skills and stupidity are obvious.
You just painted yourself into a corner!!!!

It's obvious where you're going with this. They showed a picture of Hopkins, who is black.
But they didn't show a photo of Bosworth.
So if they never showed the black/white comparison, then how do you arrive at this?:
"your own link is criticizing the racism, too!"
Yes, you're a brain-dead moron.

"But they didn't show a photo of Bosworth."
Yes, they did! But your critical-thinking skills are lacking. Once again, I'm going to help you to develop them. You're welcome.
The author is stating the same thing that my article did, but in a more subtle way. (Maybe her boss is a racist POS who would be upset about her article. Who knows?) She doesn't write that Hopkins is black. Instead, she shows you in a photo.
The next step is to find the rest of the story since she clearly wants the reader to know that there is racism involved in the sentencing of these two women. If that wasn't her main goal, then she wouldn't have done an article about both women. Her article is about comparing the sentences of a black woman and a white woman who committed a worst crime.
Now, you need to find her reference to Bosworth being white. If you need a hint, it's in your article. It clearly stands out.

No, they didn't. Fucking liar.
"Her article is about comparing the sentences of a black woman and a white woman who committed a worst crime."
Do you actually think the writer chose that photograph to go with the story? Are you that stupid?
"Her article is about comparing the sentences of a black woman and a white woman who committed a worst crime."
Fucking delusional. If the author - which is the person who wrote the text - wanted to highlight the races, they would've put that in the text.
But an racist idiot like you sees race even when it's not there.
"Now, you need to find her reference to Bosworth being white. If you need a hint, it's in your article. It clearly stands out."
If it was there, you would have pointed it out in your first response. But you're lying, so you have to dance around it.
Dishonest piece of shit.

No, it wasn't in the 'middle of the article'. It was at the bottom of the page, one of the advertisement links to other pages.

Former Maple Heights High School secretary sentenced to prison for stealing $40K from school
Former Maple Heights High School secretary Karla Hopkins is handcuffed after Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Rick Bell sentenced her to 18 months in prison for stealing more than $40,000 from school funds in 2017 and 2018.
Updated Aug 04, 2021; Posted Aug 03, 2021
By Cory Shaffer, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A judge sentenced a former secretary at Maple Heights High Schools to spend 18 months in prison for stealing more than $40,000 from school money meant for the Class of 2018.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Rick Bell told 51-year-old Karla Hopkins that she compounded her theft by liquidating her public employee pension shortly after the district discovered the theft. The move prevented the state from seizing the money to pay back the district.
Hopkins pleaded guilty in June to one count of theft in office, a third-degree felony. She faced anywhere from probation to three years in prison.
Hopkins stole the money between July 2017 and June 2018 from programs including the class of 2018′s dues and yearbook fees, auto tech, student council, flag-drill teams and book and ID badge fines, according to prosecutors.
Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor James Gutierrez asked Bell to impose a 9 and 12 months prison sentence.
“She stole from kids, your honor,” Gutierrez said. “I have no idea why she did that.”
Defense attorney Bret Jordan told Bell that Hopkins, who has no prior criminal history, had been losing a struggle with mental health issues and a gambling addiction when she began stealing money. She completed an eight-week inpatient treatment program after her arrest and enrolled in a job development program that lined her up with a new job that she was supposed to begin on Tuesday. She also gave Jordan $5,000 to begin repaying the money that she stole, the attorney said.
Jordan said that if Bell sentenced Hopkins to prison, it would be harder for her to pay the district back because she would lose her job and have a more challenging time finding work after her release from prison. Jordan said she could fall into “a tailspin” if she did not continue receiving mental health and spiritual counseling that helped put her life back on track.
The Rev. Cynthia Rogers from Open Door Missionary Baptist Church told Bell that Hopkins had repeatedly expressed her remorse and desire to change during spiritual counseling sessions.
Hopkins repeatedly apologized in court on Tuesday.
“I want to pay the Maple Heights city students back,” she said. “I’m so sorry to Maple Heights City Schools for not living up to the trust that they entrusted in me. I had a lot of friends there. I’m so sorry to them all.”
Bell quickly quizzed Hopkins about her pension and how much money she took out after her arrest. She eventually said she took all of it out.
Ohio law requires any money left in the public pension account of someone convicted of theft in office to go toward restitution. Hopkins told Bell that she did not know about the law and that she took the money out to pay her bills because she lost her job.
“You knew that you had stolen money,” Bell said. “You didn’t use that money to pay restitution that you knew you owed.”
Bell told Hopkins that she compounded her situation by taking money out of her account.
“I understand and am grateful you’re going on a journey to better yourself,” the judge said. “But I think even your pastor would agree there has to be some consequence for your actions.”
Hopkins’ sentencing comes one day after another public employee who stole nearly $250,000 over 20 years from the village of Chagrin Falls received probation.
Debbie Bosworth, a clerk in the village’s utilities and building departments, pleaded no contest to 22 counts, including third-degree felony theft in office charges. She admitted to stealing more than $20,000 a year as residents paid their water bills in cash. Bosworth resigned from the village shortly after village officials caught her in 2019 and began paying back the stolen money before she was charged. She also kept her pension intact and allowed prosecutors to seize more than $200,000.
Common Pleas Court Judge Hollie Gallagher sentenced Bosworth to two years of probation.
