Four months in the slammer for hospital embezzler

Former Barton County Memorial Hospital finance director will spend four months in prison.
At least that's the way it usually works when a judge holds for a case for a 120-day callback, which Cedar County Circuit Court Judge Theodore Scott did during the sentencing hearing today.
Ms. Schlup, 41, Deerfield, was sentenced to four years in prison, but will likely be released July 26. Court records indicate she will have to pay back $100,085 and pay $46 in court costs.
Ms. Schlup stole the money from the hospital between 1999 and 2003.

4 months is not too bad for stealing 100K.

I would really like to see her serve more time than 4 months but I guess that is better than nothing.
Looks like they may be charging intrest on her petty cash loan.

That would be a long time is she is innocent. That poor woman, I don't see how anyone could make any judgements, unless they are for sure it all went down like they say. Noone really knows what happened, except her. I feel for her, and hope they let her out before July 26. Everyone makes mistakes, it's not our place to judge her for her acts; it's Gods place. If she really did it, then yes she needs to be in jail; but if she didn't do it, you'll all be sorry that you judge her wrongly.
