Former LAUSD staffer pleads not guilty in multi-million dollar money laundering case
 
An alleged fraudster within the Los Angeles Unified School District appeared in a downtown court on Friday charged with taking part in a huge money laundering scam.

Hong “Grace” Peng, 53 — who worked as a technical project manager for LAUSD — pled not guilty to facilitating an alleged eye-popping $22 million kickback scheme.

The case comes as the scandal-plagued school district reels from fraud claims against Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.

Peng, of Pasadena, was dressed in a blue pin-striped jacked, blue collared shirt and with her dark hair tied back in a ponytail. She stood before Judge Theresa McGonigle in Dept. 30 after a $500,000 warrant was issued for her to appear.

Explain it me like I'm 5 years old...on what grounds does somebody plead "Not Guilty", when they have all the evidence which says otherwise?
