Tonta!
Oh, she knew - that's why her employees held the money, so she can fall back on (semi-)plausible deniability.
I'm not an attorney, but the way I read the law is organizing and setting up a football squares pool is not in and of itself illegal, if the payouts = what is taken in. When organizers take a cut is when it becomes illegal.
When her future opponents bring up the fact that her case was settled out of court, she'll point to the Commissioners Court as the reason for it.
She can say, it was their decision, not mine, and she can maintain her innocence.
What we'll never know is what those tickets' purpose really was: were they used for an employees fund, or were they going to raise money for her campaign? And were those employees who came forward forced to pay for unsold tickets out of their own pocket?
Barrera lucks out, just like those who were never indicted in the maquinitas scandal a couple of years back.
Business as usual in Laredo.
