After Tennessee Democrat Gets Convicted – State Senate Votes 27-5 To Toss Senator Robinson Out For Good

 

Politicians often run into problems with the law, though many citizens claim these representatives get off too easy. Power and influence have a way of lessening punishments and sentences.

But for one Tennessee Democrat, the punishment might just fit the crime. And as a result, her career as a politician may be over, because the consequences of her actions are pretty steep.

After being convicted of fraud, Sen. Katrina Robinson could be out of public service for good.

Last fall, Robinson was accused of stealing $600,000 from a healthcare school she ran. Allegedly, she took the money to pay for her expensive wedding, along with other personal expenses while in office.

At the time, a judge acquitted her on 15 of the 20 charges, but a jury convicted her of 4 of the 5 charges of wire fraud.

After that, the question came up: should she be tossed out of the state Senate? Robinson and her Democrat colleagues tried to delay that vote until March, when she’ll be officially sentenced.

But the Tennessee legislature isn’t waiting: they’ve decided to expel her immediately.

From Fox News:

A Tennessee Democrat was expelled from the state Senate on Wednesday over her conviction on fraud charges.

On Wednesday, state senators voted 27-5 for her expulsion after a recommendation from the Ethics Committee, FOX 13 of Memphis reported.
