"HOUSTON -- Texas Southern University's former chief financial officer was convicted Thursday of misspending nearly $300,000 in public funds a spart of a scheme to help the school's ex-president lavishly furnish and landscape her home [but apparently not his!], according to broadcast reports.

"A jury convicted Quintin Wiggins of one count of misaplication of fiduciary property. [Hummmm, where else have we heard that one just recently? Was it Dallas' Albanese case?]"

Ms. Slade gets ousted, her Homeboy gets the slammer ??!!

"Wiggins faces up to life in prison.

"Prosecutors said Wiggins diverted $286,000 of TSU funds into secret accounts that ousted president Priscilla Slade used to buy furniture, landscaping and a high-tech security system for her home.

"Wiggins' attorneys told jurors their client was a dedicated employee who had done nothing wrong because the university had approved similar furniture purchases for Slade.

"In all, Slade spent $87,000 on furniture, $138,000 on landscaping and $61,000 on a security system, prosecutors said."
