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."
