Chicago - The bookkeeper of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao was sentenced Friday (Saturday in Manila) afternoon to serve a minimum of 16 months in a state prison after pleading no-contest during the continuation of the preliminary hearing of the case.
Shiara Davila-Morales, spokesperson of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office in California, told this reporter over the phone that Pia Anatalia Quijada was sentenced by Commissioner Henry Hall of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Quijada pleaded no-contest to grand theft of personal property after the Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Linda Kwon agreed to drop the other felony charges of 32 counts of forgery.
Commissioner Hall also ordered Quijada to pay $89,383.49, the approximate amount of money she stole from Pacquiao.
Contacted by phone by this reporter, Deputy Public Defender Jacqueline Baskerville, who represented Quijada at the hearing Friday, merely said: "I have no comment."
