The Two Saundras

Wearing a clerical collar, former Kansas City, Missouri, Councilwoman Saundra McFadden-Weaver took the stand in her defense this morning in federal court.

McFadden-Weaver is on trial for mortgage fraud. In 2005, she took out a $400,000 loan on a home in Lee’s Summit that a bank foreclosed upon because of unmade payments.

During this morning’s testimony, jurors got a glimpse of two Saundras, Vulnerable Saundra and Powerful Saundra.
