In July, Kilpatrick pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including taking and transferring money without consent.

A month later, changed her plea to guilty to one count of Theft-Take/Use/Transfer Movable Property Without Consent.

Kilpatrick said she didn’t realize how much money had been taken.
