A Texas woman shot and killed herself in front of a Walmart on Wednesday just hours before she was slated to be sentenced for embezzling $1.2 million.
Paige Moody Bisher, 43, of Spring, Texas, was facing up to life in prison after admitting to stealing $1.2 million from a small Houston company, where she was employed as a part-time administrative assistant, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Bisher admitted to embezzling the money in January and was slated to be sentenced by District Judge Nikita Harmon on Wednesday. Prosecutor Lester Blizzard said he was planning on asking for a lengthy prison sentence for the first-degree felony theft of more than $300,000, the Houston Chronicle reported.

If you’re gonna steal a million bucks from your workplace, have the sense to skip the country like they do in the movies.
Sheesh.
Usually you have to be at least a book keeper to steal that amount.
“”Ken Lay did the same thing which kept his estate intact for his wife and children.””
Wasn’t the cause of his death announced as a massive heart attack? How did you come up with suicide?
the irs cannot come after the estate?
In most states murderers don’t even get anywhere near a life sentence.
Did she have to ruin Walmart shoppers’ day?
To bad her name wasn’t Hilary clinton
Wrong.
$300k is enough to put a lot of small businesses under. She risked destroying a lot of lives, and then was too cowardly to accept responsibility for her actions.
What I wonder is why you'd try to make up excuses for her. "possibly someone else" "totally screwed up" "had been a good employee" OK, I'll accept that your definition of a good employee and mine will never overlap.
My apologies. I see now (not in this story, had to click through this link to a link to the Chronicle) that the prosecutor is going to dismiss the charges which could work to void the conviction and clear her record (and make it much harder for the victim to try to recover from her estate).
I had questionable about his cause of death. There were conflicting reports and I remembered the wrong one.
Hey at least she didnt check into the Bates Motel.
I wonder if Janet Leigh got a full paycheck for her role in that movie.
Sad. Even if she had gotten away with it in this life it would have caught up to her in the next.
And life in prison would have at least cancelled the earthly debt before she would have checked out.
And maybe she could have learned to do some good deeds behind the bars.
All kinds of reasons to live, but she chose a one-way door to the dead. She couldn’t even take the cash with her.
And in front of Wal-Mart? How many people including children did she traumatize for life? As if she didn’t have enough to ‘explain’ already.
As another poster said, fate is sealed upon death, but prayers for her grieving family would be good.
Sentencing happens after conviction.....are you sure she wasn’t already a convicted felon?
Christ is all about Mercy. Salvation is by Grace alone, not through anything that we do or don’t do.
She admitted to her crime in January and here it is May and she was still walking around free.
Can anybody explain to me why it takes four months for a judge to sentence somebody who admitted to her crimes? Even worse, how is she allowed to go free? After admitting she was guilty!
Back in January, she should have been handcuffed and marched off to jail immediately upon admitting her crime. It should have taken a judge no more than 10 minutes to come up with a sentence that fit said crimes.
Had that been done, she'd likely be alive today.
