Prosecutors in the felony trial of Stockton Unified School District board member AngelAnn Flores focused Wednesday on text messages they say reveal a coordinated plan to delay reporting a car accident until after an insurance policy was activated.
Flores, who has pleaded not guilty, faces three felony charges, including embezzlement and filing a false insurance claim. Prosecutors allege she used a district-issued credit card for personal expenses and filed a claim for a crash that occurred before her insurance coverage took effect. Flores’s defense contends the charges are politically motivated, citing her past cooperation as a whistleblower in a federal investigation into district contracting practices.
