I Was a Court Reporter… Then I Went to Prison | Becky Calderon

Becky Calderon seemed to have the perfect life — adopted into a loving family, building a stable career, and working as a respected court reporter in California. But after being diagnosed with cancer, everything started to fall apart. What began as financial struggle and desperation turned into a life-altering mistake: stealing over $400,000 from her employer. #PrisonStories #TrueCrimeInterviews #JusticeSystem #CourtReporter #RedemptionStory #BehindBars #LockedInPodcast #RealLifeStories Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!
