lawyer embezzled from Walt's secretary
SoCal lawyer gets jail for embezzling from Disney's secretary (http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_6388215)

A judge sentenced an attorney to a year in jail for embezzling $150,000 from the trust he set up for an elderly woman who once worked as Walt Disney's secretary.
Salvatore Osio, 69, was convicted last month of one count each of theft from an elder, grand theft, forgery and perjury. The jury deliberated the case less than three hours. Superior Court Judge George Lomeli on Wednesday sentenced Osio and also gave him five years of probation.
Prosecutors contended that Osio embezzled the money from a trust fund he was hired to set up for Alicia Waters and her husband, Henry, in 2002. She discovered the money missing after her husband's death, authorities said. She died in 2005 at age 92.
Osio's license was suspended in light of the conviction, and he is subject to potential summary disbarment because of the nature of the charges.
Osio is appealing the conviction.
