In 2017 Jayne Dodd walked out of Bristol Crown Court after defrauding her elderly step-father of £63,000. As she left to start a suspended jail term she told the Bristol Post: "I’m glad it’s all over.”
What the sentencing judge didn't know then was, for the previous 13 years, she had stolen more than £500,000 from her brother. And when she returned to the same court on Friday (May 27, 2022), this time she didn't walk out.
Dodd, 61, of Wynter Close in Weston-super-Mare, pleaded guilty to theft from Stephen Cox between December 2004 and February 2017. The recorder Mr Andrew Langdon QC jailed her for three years and 10 months.
