Could Robin testify against Sheriff Marcos Lopez?
Robin Severance Lopez, the estranged wife of suspended Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez, pled guilty to a reduced charge of money laundering and will avoid jail time under a new agreement that calls for 24 months of probation. She will also receive probation for providing false or misleading information on a bail application — the allegation that led to her being taken back into custody after she was first released on bond. The case is part of a broader investigation into an alleged illegal gambling operation. According to documents filed last week, Krishna Deokaran, another person charged in the alleged illegal gambling operation, was expected to testify that he handed Severance Lopez an envelope of cash in 2022 — a claim that could have further weakened her defense. Several co-defendants in the racketeering case have already pleaded guilty. Court records indicate the judge will withhold adjudication as part of Severance-Lopez’s agreement — a key sticking point in previous negotiations, as she sought to avoid being formally adjudicated guilty and labeled a convicted felon.

Anna Kepner's dad subpoenaed in family court
Christopher Kepner, the father of Anna Kepner, was served a subpoena to appear in family court for a child custody civil case. Information about Anna Kepner's death – of which the FBI has provided little details about – is being released through an unrelated court case in a dispute between Kepner's stepmother and her ex-husband – the father of the 16-year-old "suspect" in Kepner's death. To be clear, the FBI has not confirmed its investigation nor named anyone a suspect. FOX 35 and other outlets have reached out to the FBI several times regarding the case. Last week, Kepner's stepmom, Hudson, filed a motion for a gag order in the case, claiming through an attorney that the public exposure and reporting on the case and subsequent fillings could lead to "possible irreversible harm" to the children and family or could jeopardize the investigation and presumed defense.
