Former San Diego mayor blames brain tumor for stealing $2 million from charity

“A former California mayor admitted in federal court on Thursday to stealing more than $2 million from her dead husband’s charity to fuel a $1 billion gambling binge.  The former mayor of San Diego pleaded not guilty to money-laundering charges, and now has two years to repay the charity.  O’Connor’s attorney said the former mayor suffered from a gambling addiction that caused her to lose $13 million, mostly playing video poker at casinos both locally and in Nevada and New Jersey.  O’Connor, who served as mayor from 1986 to 1992, blamed her gambling largess on a brain tumor that was not diagnosed until 2011.”
