In a legal saga tinged with digital intrigue and high-stakes allegations, Shaquandra Woods, a Florida attorney convicted of conspiring to defraud a U.S. coronavirus pandemic relief program, is now mounting a fervent bid for exoneration. Woods, found guilty in December of orchestrating a scheme to illicitly pocket around $300,000 from federal COVID-19 relief funds, has launched a bold appeal, challenging the integrity of the trial and invoking her constitutional rights.

She argues vehemently that the government’s reliance on digital footprints, such as IP addresses and email correspondence, falls short of establishing her direct involvement.
