Green a Bad Bookkeeper, No Thief

The theft case against former Penn-Delco school board member John Green evaporates.

Defense attorney Michael F.X. Gillin acknowledged that his client “may have been a lousy bookkeeper.” But the attorney provided a report from a defense accountant that Green used his own money to help fund the sports booster club that was financially hurting, and when the dues came in, he would reimburse his accounts.

He was charged with stealing a little more than $16,000 from the club which he started. According to an audit, he paid more than $19,000 of his own money to keep it going.

The DAs office says the investigation is "ongoing." What the hell is that supposed to mean? It's been more than two years since Green was charged. If the charges have been dropped what sort of case can be going on?
