Repeat Offender: Chester County Woman Receives Prison Sentence for Embezzlement

WEST CHESTER — Amber Goodman, convicted of embezzling nearly $100,000 from her employer, Sulpizio Inc., faced sentencing in Chester County Court. Claiming desperation due to her recent battle with ovarian cancer, Goodman apologized to the court. However, Judge Alita Rovito delivered a stern sentence, considering Goodman's prior embezzlement conviction in Berks County. Sentenced to 11½ to 23 months in prison, with additional probation and restitution, Goodman's defense cited her health struggles but failed to mitigate her sentence. The impact on Sulpizio Inc. was profound, with owner Joe Sulpizio expressing concerns about the company's future. Despite sympathy for Goodman's health issues, the court held her accountable, serving as a cautionary tale against exploiting personal hardships for financial gain.
