Should Priscilla Slade be worried?

The man who signed the checks that funded former TSU President Priscilla Slade's extravagant lifestyle might be willing to testify against her at her next trial, his attorney said Tuesday.

Quintin Williams, the former chief financial officer of Texas Southern University, who was sentenced in May to 10 years in prison for his part in the scandal, might be able to connect the dots, prosecutor Donna Goode said.

"At the time we went to trial, we didn't feel it was necessary," Goode said. "We're willing to learn from experience. If it would have made the difference for the other six, who's to say?"

Alternatively, she said, prosecutors could turn to Bruce Wilson, the school's former head of purchasing, who is awaiting trial on a lesser felony charge of misusing funds. Goode said that either could be useful, but Wiggins was the one who worked closely with Slade during her seven-year tenure.
