A jury is deciding whether Pender County Clerk Elizabeth Craver stole county funds for personal use, with prosecutors citing false claims and evidence, while the defense denies fraud.
A jury has begun deliberations in the trial of Pender County Clerk Elizabeth Craver, facing three felony counts of obtaining property by false pretenses.
Prosecutors allege she used county funds to buy personal items, including an air conditioner, claiming it was needed after Hurricane Florence, but evidence shows no record of its return through the vendor.
They also cited personal photos on a county computer linked to her iPhone and an audio recording matching her voice.
The defense argued there’s no proof of fraud, with Craver denying directing staff to use community service time for political work and claiming she only allowed voluntary participation.
The jury now weighs the evidence after closing arguments concluded.
