You should be familiar with the story.
Shanesha Taylor was arrested after leaving her kids in the car so she could go to a job interview. People rallied around here and ended up donating over $100k. The prosecution dropped the charges on one condition, that she put a portion (not all) in a trust for her kids. She didn’t do it, so they refiled the charges, now it is coming out where she has been spending the money.
Support for Taylor poured into an online fundraising account; donors gave her more than $114,000.
Part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid charges for Taylor included her putting some of that money into a trust for her children.
When she failed to do so, prosecutors reinstated charges against her.
Maupin said he arranged jobs for Taylor in the hospitality industry, a business in which she told him she was interested.
“I call these Taylor-ready jobs, all she had to do was show up,” Maupin said. “Unfortunately, she didn’t.”
Maupin says Taylor also wasted her donated money.
“We had someone call my office and alert her attorney to the fact that she spent $6,000 at a music studio in Tempe to finish her baby daddy’s rap album,” Maupin said. “That’s not what people gave her that money for.”
I am curious how the rap CD sounds.
