Last Friday, 41-year old Traci Gillespie of Urbana was sentenced to 8 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of intent to steal.

In January, Gillespie was caught cutting the tags off of $2,300 worth of Kohl’s merchandise. Gillespie has other prior convictions of theft, burglary, and battery, which made her eligible for an extended prison term.

Gillespie was sentenced by Champaign County Judge Tom Difanis to 97 months in prison with restitution.

Testimonials

I hired Tom to help us with a traffic violation for my son. In our first conversation he set our expectations with the potential challenges and hopeful results. In the end, he not only met our expectations, he exceeded them in every way. He negotiated the most favorable possible result possible with the court despite an uphill battle. While our case was relatively small, Tom kept us informed via email throughout the process. I was most surprised by getting several emails at 9pm, 5:30 am and the like. I never waited more than a few hours to get a reply. I would highly recommend Tom Bruno.
