Woman Ordered to Choose: Jail or Football
OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- A woman given the choice between giving up her family's Green Bay Packers' tickets or going to jail has chosen to turn her back on football.
A judge ordered Sharon E. Rosenthal of Appleton to decide whether to spend 90 days in jail or donate her four seats in the Packers' three-game season package next season to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Rosenthal, 59, took more than $3,000 from labor union accounts before she left the organization, according to a criminal complaint. She was sentenced Friday in Winnebago County Circuit Court on one felony count of theft.
"She is going to give up the Packer tickets," defense attorney Kevin Musolf said Wednesday. "They don't have them yet, but when they get them, arrangements will be made."
The donation is part of Rosenthal's two-year probation period.
