25. The following article appeared earlier this year: By David Owens, Hartford Courant, 02/13/2020 Winsted woman pleads guilty to stealing $850,000 from physically, mentally disabled people in conservatorships: A 72-year-old Winsted woman who stole more than $850,000 from people with physical and mental disabilities pleaded guilty Thursday and faces up to seven years in prison. Sheila Grochowski was arrested by Avon police and the chief state's attorney's office in November 2017 on more than a dozen larceny and forgery charges and had previously turned down a plea offer. But with her case called in for trial and jury selection scheduled to begin Thursday, she asked if the state's plea offer was still available and accepted it, pleading guilty to a single count of first-degree larceny and two counts of second-degree forgery. She is scheduled to be sentenced April 29 to 10 years in prison, suspended after she serves seven years, plus five years of probation. Her lawyer, public defender John Stawicki, will be able to argue for less prison time and probation. Grochowski was a bookkeeper and secretary for Barbara H. Hance Associates, a Farmington company that handles the financial affairs of people whose affairs are controlled by probate courts. Prosecutor Christopher A. Alexy told Hartford Superior Court Judge Laura F. Baldini that Grochowski wrote 437 checks to herself from the accounts of Hance clients. The state had video obtained from Grochowski's bank showing her depositing two of the stolen checks, and bank records from her bank and those of her victims showing the extent of her thievery. Grochowski pleaded guilty under the Alford doctrine, meaning she disputed some of the state's evidence, but acknowledged the state had enough evidence to convict her at trial. According to the warrant for Grochowski's arrest, Grochowski forged Hance's signature on 591 checks and two withdrawal slips and stole $851,811 between January 2010 and May 2016, when Hance fired Grochowski. Authorities do not know where the money went, but when confronted by Hance in early 2015 about the embezzlement of $4,829, Grochowski admitted the forgery and said she needed the money for medical expenses, according to the warrant. After that incident, Hance kept Grochowski as an employee, set up a repayment plan, and did not notify the police. In May 2016 more problems with checks were found, and Hance determined that Grochowski's alleged thefts were more extensive. A forensic audit by an accounting firm, and a review of thousands of pages of Grochowski's bank records by Avon Det. Edward Espinoza and state Inspector Jack Bannan revealed the massive scale of Grochowski's thefts. The investigators identified 25 people they say were victimized by Grochowski, including her own father who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and was under a conservatorship. Grochowski allegedly wrote herself checks from her father's accounts and listed herself as executor of his estate, although he was still alive at the time. The investigators also found that it wasn't the first time she has stolen. In 1988 Grochowski was charged by Torrington police with first-degree larceny, second-degree larceny, and third-degree forgery. She was convicted in November 1989 and sentenced to five years in prison.

The time between release from prison and the commission of another crime is uniformly distributed between 0 and 5 years for a high-risk group. Find the mean of the times between release from prison and the commission of another crime.

We have individuals with no history of convictions (person NC) and with a history of convictions (person C). Suppose: 1) If any person remains silent, there is a 0.001 risk of his case ending up in the court. 2) If a person NC talks to the police, there is a 0.002 risk of the police using his words against him and his case ending up in the court. 3) If a person C talks to the police, there is a 0.005 risk of the police using his words against him and his case ending up in the court. 4) The probability of not being convicted in the court are 0.5 for person NC and 0.1 for person C. 5) The probability of not being convicted drops 4 times if a person did not talk to the police during the investigation, as the jury thinks he has something to hide. 6) If a person is convicted and talked to the police during the investigation, his sentence is reduced by 0.75 factor as he is considered cooperative. The police arrested a person suspecting he is involved in a certain crime. The penalty for the crime is 5 years in prison: a) (2 points): A person has no history of convictions. What are the expected mean sentence durations he will have to spend in prison if he talks to the police or remains silent? b) (2 points): A person has a history of convictions. What are the expected mean sentence durations he will have to spend in prison if he talks to the police or remains silent?
