Priscilla Slade Takes Plea Deal

Priscilla Slade will not be facing prison after all. She will avoid a prison sentence if she pays back $127,672.18.

In addition to repaying the money, Slade will also be given 10 years of deferred adjudication in exchange for the "no contest" plea. That means the finding of guilt will not be on her record if she completes probation. If she violates probation, the conviction would be put on her record and she could be sentenced to up to life in prison.

It seems that Priscilla was able to work out a very sweet deal for herself considering the amount of money she was accused of stealing.

Should Wiggins Have To Testify In Priscilla Slade's Trial?

A judge Monday postponed ruling on whether ousted TSU President Priscilla Slade's former CFO Quintin Wiggins will have to testify in her upcoming retrial for allegedly spending more than $500,000 to finance her lifestyle.

State District Judge Brock Thomas granted prosecutors' request to compel Bruce Wilson, TSU's former vice president of purchasing, to testify.

Attorneys for Wiggins argued he shouldn't have to testify while he appeals his May conviction for his role in the spending scandal that rocked the university.
