Rackspace Salesman Gets Probation For Fraud

October 2nd, 2011

A former salesman for Rackspace Managed Hosting was sentenced Thursday to two years of probation for defrauding the San Antonio company out of $64,174.  David John Whitman pleaded guilty in May to two counts of wire fraud.  He admitted turning in fraudulent service orders so he could get highter commissions & in some cases keep his position.

Whitman faced up to a year in jail on each count, but brought a $5,000 check to apply to restitution and help boost his chances for probation.  he also apologized for violating the trust of Rackspace.

Assistant U.S. attorney Judith patton did not oppose probation.  U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia gave Whitman two years of probation and imposed a $1,000 fine after patton said Rackspace did not want restitution.  Why should they when the city gave them more than 100 million based on an agreement they would add thousand of new jobs to the city.  (where are the new jobs?)

Between March 2006 and January 2007 David Whitmen  sent 14 forms by fax or email to Rackspace knowing they contained false information his plea deal said.

Ingram Authorities Eye Baby’s Death

October 1st, 2011

Ingram authorities are investigating the homicide last week of a 6 week old girl born to two teens.  Sage Pennington was pronounced dead on the evening of sept 21 by staffers at Peterson regional medical Center in Kerrville, who then alerted Ingram City Marshall Rowan Zachry.

Zachry said the child’s parents 17 and 16 provided inconsistent accounts on their child head injury.  The autopsy showed the child died of blunt force trauma.  Zachry said investigators findings will be presented to a Kerr County grand jury.

These teenagers are facing serious time behind bars if not the death penalty.  For those reasons I suggested the hire the best criminal defense lawyer they can afford.  If you or a family is facing similar charges contact a great criminal defense lawyer today.
