Shades of Johnson

Remember when that CPD Commander was cashing his dead mother's SSI checks for years?

At least he wasn't keeping momma in the freezer:

• A Portage Park woman with a history of fraud convictions who kept her dead mother’s body in a freezer for nearly two years so she could continue collecting the woman’s Social Security checks is now facing federal fraud charges.

  Eva Bratcher, 73, already received an 18-month state sentence for concealing a death and possessing a fraudulent ID card. Now, federal prosecutors have charged her with embezzlement of public funds and failure to disclose life events, alleging she collected $16,752 in Social Security payments by concealing her mother’s death. The charges are part of a nationwide federal crackdown on fraud.

Kenneth Johnson was stealing money for over twenty years....and he got two years probation.

This woman didn't murder her mom and only chased the checks for two years. What kind of sentence is she looking at?
