Prosecutors contend the Krafts helped the developers obtain a $500,000 break on impact fees one of their housing projects had to pay to the school district. In return, they allegedly accepted $10,000 from the developers.
Mitch Kraft has pleaded not guilty and will stand trial separately.
Stephanie Kraft is looking at a maximum of five years in prison when she's sentenced on December 22nd.
