A jury is currently deliberating the fate of a Kelowna woman on trial for fraud of more than $ 1 million.

The accused, Carey Earl is accused of stealing from Access Human Resources, a community support agency that provides services and support to people with cognitive and physical disabilities. She is facing criminal charges of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.

Throughout the trial, the jury heard that Earl allegedly misappropriated approximately $1.3 million from Access Human Resources between 2010 and 2018, while working as the bookkeeper.

The 12-person jury began deliberations at 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 25.

Earl has denied allegations of theft but did not take the stand to give testimony during the trial. However, in 2019, Earl filed a response to a Civil Suit in the Supreme Court of B.C. and denied allegations that she had misappropriated or embezzled money from Access Human Resources.
