Prosecutor files motion to restrict evidence in Margaret Mills case in advance of Friday’s pre-trial hearing
An assistant attorney general who is prosecuting former Downtown Waco Inc. executive director Margaret Mills has asked a judge to restrict evidence about “any restitution” she paid before she was indicted for felony theft.
Mills, 67, was indicted on first-degree felony theft charges in November in the alleged theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars while serving as head of the downtown civic development organization.
Judge Matt Johnson of Waco’s 54th State District Court has scheduled a pretrial hearing in Mills’ case for 11 a.m. Friday. Her trial is set to begin Sept. 22.
Both Assistant Attorney General David S. Glickler and Mills’ attorney, Rick Bostwick, declined to discuss the case today, including the pre-trial motion filed by Glickler last week after the attorneys met with the judge in a closed-door meeting in the judge’s office. Mills did not attend the meeting.

Too bad, imo. Maybe if it was unrestricted, someone could prove who gave her that money that “she” repaid. It would be interesting to know who would be willing to “loan” her that much money, knowing it wouldn’t be repaid, and, more importantly…. why.

She needs to go to prison…..she is a thief. She knew what she was doing, and so did her family. She hid money in her grown sons bank account. Did he not ever wonder where the money came from?

Man nice to see that the RICH have special rules than the average JOE….. She is a THEIF needs to dealt with and made an example of to the people of this city. I wonder if it was a poor man that broke into the Downtown offices and stole the money, if JUSTICE would be swift and unkind…. on in this City can the RICH law less, people be able to walk free with there heads held high as if they are above the law….. While Billy Joe get lock up with no chance of parole for doing the same in a different manner.

Who gave her the money? Where did the money come from? Barnard Rapoport gave her the money, that’s who.
