Former Delaware legislative aide guilty of stealing donated funds

A Kent County jury convicted Dawn Hill, 52, of theft from a person age 62 or older, and issuing a bad check over $1,500.

Hill is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 16. Prosecutors are not seeking prison time but instead will ask for probation and restitution.
