Union County resident Carola J. Antrim’s trial is scheduled for 9 a.m., Monday, October 19. It was originally scheduled for August 24.
Antrim is charged with two counts of Theft, one as a Level 5 Felony and one as a Class C Felony.
According to Information filed by Special Prosecutor David M. Daly on July 6, 2018, Antrim is accused of taking at least $50,000 between July 1, 2014 and December 6, 2017, and at least $100,000 from March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2014.
She is accused of taking money from a trust fund set up for a young male who received grievous injuries in an explosion.
Randolph County Superior Court Judge Peter Haviza is the special judge in the case. A special prosecutor and a special judge were needed in the case as Antrim worked for an attorney in the Union County Prosecutor’s Office and her attorney, Mark Cox, is the brother of Union Circuit Court Judge Matthew Cox.
Daly is the prosecuting attorney in Randolph County.
If convicted of a Level 5 Felony, Antrim could receive a sentence of one to six years in prison. A Class C Felony conviction carries with it a sentence of two to eight years in prison.
