Former state Sen. Katrina Robinson was sentenced Friday to time served and one year of supervised release after having been found guilty on two counts of wire fraud in September 2021, The Commercial Appeal reports. That means she will not serve any prison time. The supervised release will include standard conditions such as collection of DNA, police access to financial information and mental health counseling. U.S. District Judge Sheryl Lipman said several factors went into her ruling, including all the good Robinson has done in the community as a nurse during COVID-19 and founder of The Healthcare Institute. Lipman also cited the "very significant" loss that Robinson has already endured, including the loss of her position as a senator, potential loss of her nursing license and financial loss. While Robinson said she believed the sentence was appropriate, she still plans to appeal the guilty verdict.
