Bristol woman cleared of all charges in Kelce memorabilia case
Evidence proved she had no knowledge of alleged scheme
Pennsylvania officials have dropped all charges against LeeAnn Branco of Bristol, who was accused along with 2 others of selling forged Jason Kelce memorabilia valued at approximately $200,000.
Charges against Joseph Parenti of Cranston were also dropped; 2 others remain charged with a total of 60 felony counts in the case.
According to a June 11 article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Assistant District Attorney Gwendolyn Marie Kull wrote in motions, filed on June 2, that “A review of cell phone evidence along with additional interviews and information received by detectives revealed” that neither Branco nor Parenti were aware of the scheme.
The Inquirer quoted Martin P. Mullaney, Branco’s lawyer, saying that Branco and Parenti were “just used as pawns” by the conspirators. “We appreciate the district attorney’s office doing the right thing and dropping the charges,” Mullaney said. “Justice was served.”
