Brown had pleaded not guilty, blaming her former chief of staff Elias “Ronnie” Simmons for stealing. Brown, a Democrat who previously represented parts of Central Florida in the U.S. House, faced 22 counts of fraud and tax evasion charges after prosecutors say she funneled money from One Door for Education Foundation into her personal accounts.

Before the verdict was read, the judge called at the attorneys into

The jury returned its verdict Thursday, a day after the judge excused on panel member who made comments about Brown and “higher beings.”

That juror was replaced by an alternate, and the jury had to start its deliberations over again Wednesday morning.

Brown’s trial was briefly halted last week during her after she broke down under cross-examination by a prosecutor asking her about cash taken from a charity for poor kids that was deposited into her personal bank account.

“They're trying to destroy my life,” Brown shouted as jurors in Jacksonville filed out of the courtroom for a break after she cried on the stand.

Brown managed to finish her testimony, and both sides rested their cases.

The jury heard closing arguments on Monday.

Been watching this in great hope of this result. She was a stain on Florida.

Upcoming response: Racist, I tell you, Racist!!!

I was going to post this but we're too busy throwing a victory party.

30 years late but better late than never.

Clearly, she lived the high life until she got caught and didn't have her guardian angel in the white house any more...

It's about time!!

I wonder who she pissed off so badly that she, a genetically predisposed high dermal eumelanin content female Democratic career politician from a gerrymandered district was not only indicted, but convicted of tax fraud. Time and time again similar individuals skated on such charges.

Someone decided she really deserved to be made an example out of.

yippee

one down - several hundred to go

that's one small victory for the people

Could be someone who wanted that job, a competitor in her own party, the district is gerrymandered so it's always going to be D...
