Chef Todd Scheider/File

The judge presiding over the case of a former Executive Mansion chef accused of embezzlement says that she will make a decision by the end of the week on whether to dismiss the charges.  Richmond Circuit Court Judge Margaret Spencer also heard oral arguments by defense attorney Steven Benjamin–who asked for dismissal of the charges against Todd Schneider–and the special prosecutor, Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney Gregory Underwood, who argued against dropping the charges.  Virginia Public Radio’s Anne Marie Morgan has more details from the courthouse in Richmond.
