Kathleen Cassettari of British Columbia was convicted of stealing $50,000 from her dentist employer. The sentencing judge cited Cassettari’s documented mental illness as an unusual mitigating circumstance and declined to impose a jail term. While the legal outcome reflected those circumstances, the financial loss to the practice was unaffected — underscoring that prevention and detection are far more effective than post-theft legal remedies.
