The embezzlement trial of a former Florida A&M University program director ended Wednesday when she decided to plead guilty.
Patricia McGill, 60, is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 1 on one count of conspiracy to commit theft from federal programs and seven counts of theft from federal educational grant programs. She faces up to 75 years in prison and $1.75 million in fines.
McGill is accused, along with a former Franklin County administrator, of stealing more than $125,000 from January 2001 to August 2005. McGill was arrested in February after a two-year investigation.
