HAPPY MEDIA FURY MONDAY!
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown will finally learn her fate today after months of legal back-and-forth revolving around her federal corruption case.
It's up to a federal judge to decide whether to send Brown to prison for her 18 convictions on felony fraud and tax charges, or if she deserves leniency after decades of public service.
Today 's sentencing hearing marks the final chapter of a legal saga that has unfolded over the last 17 months since the 12-term congresswoman's career-ending indictment.
Brown, 71, lies at the center of a scheme that collected money for a bogus charity, funds that were used instead to pad a lavish lifestyle that far exceeded the lawmaker's means.
It's unclear whether U.S. District Judge Timothy Corrigan will side with a court officer's recommendation and order Brown to serve up to nine years in prison, or if she'll receive probation.
