She and her son, 43 year old Michael Whitt, admitted in court Friday that they schemed to steal money from the church's checking account; a total of $1,514,593 during two and a half years.
"We're hopeful that the religious community that has suffered in this case will be able to recoup at least some perhaps if not all of the funds, "Hindman said.
"This is not our money, but it was God's money. And so we feel like we have a responsibility to try to retrieve it," Pastor Dean Haun said back in May. He was out of town Friday.
