Corrine Brown case to be heard by appeals court
A federal appeals court is expected to hear arguments in December in a challenge filed by former Congresswoman Corrine Brown after she was convicted on felony charges in a charity scam.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week said oral arguments are needed in the case and tentatively scheduled them for the week of Dec. 10 in Atlanta, according to an online docket.
Brown appealed to the Atlanta-based court after she was convicted last year on 18 felony counts and sentenced to five years in prison.
