It's a pity Sandra got involved in a theft that smeared her reputation and that of her family's. From the beginning of your story I thought maybe Sandra was innocent. I got a slight shock at the point she owned up to being a part of the theft. It's good the company's board of directors agreed for an out-of-court settlement, at least Sandra won't have to be an exconvict. She should definitely learn from the experience and change her ways.
Your story is well written. I enjoyed reading it.
