LMAO! They are using the "too stupid to pull it off" defense!

"The books was, you know, there was a lot of stuff that didn't make sense," said Brenda Jones. "And the person that was helping me said, 'You need to get out. Right now.'"

Jones told FOX40 she replaced Silva as CEO of the Stockton Kids Club a few years ago when he became mayor, but resigned after only six months.

"Checks was bouncin' all over Stockton. Bouncin'. People's checks was bouncin'," Jones said. "Twenty-thousand dollars was taken out of the account, and nobody could come up with an explanation. Where did it go? Who took it?"

Jones says that she did not believe Silva was involved with that, that it must have been another member of the Stockton Kids Club, but did not name anyone specifically.

"Anthony Silva is constantly close to showing bad judgement,"said Silva's attorney, Mark Reichel. "It's a lot of suspicion."

Reichel said the charges suggest a sophisticated scheme and that they does not seem likely.
