Former Congresswoman, Corrine Brown deserves everything she has coming her way in prison. Even the prosecutors found themselves unable to show her any sympathy. Brown is a woman who stole from poor ethnic kids while screaming from her liberal platform about being the only party helping the disadvantaged, helping by stealing from them.
Prosecutors said Brown and two of her associates transferred more than $800,000 from her charity, One Door for Education, into personal bank accounts between 2012 and 2016. The charity reportedly only gave out $1,200 in scholarship funds.
Brown’s former chief of staff, Ronnie Simmons, and the charity’s president, Carla Wiley, both testified against their former boss.
Assistant U.S. Attorney A. Tysen Duva blasted the former congresswoman’s actions during his opening statement, according to ABC.
“Corruption. Greed. And a significant entitlement attitude,” Duva told the jury. “And that’s what this case is about. It’s about lying, cheating, and stealing. It’s about fraud and corruption of the member of the highest level of the American government.”
Brown claims all of the charges and evidence against her amounted to nothing more than “sloppy bookkeeping.”
Unfortunately for Brown, the courts choose evidence and logic over ridiculous empty excuses.
The verdict was given after two days of deliberation and eight days of testimony from roughly 50 witnesses. Brown, who served in the lower chamber from Jan. 1993 – Jan. 2017, said she had made some mistakes, but maintained it was not intentional.
“Let me just admit right her and now that there was a lot of sloppy bookkeeping … It was a mistake on my part and I needed to get on top of my taxes,” Brown told the jury, according to ABC News.
Brown has never once owned her shortcomings or apologized for cheating the American people. Some might find it sad to see a 70-year-old black woman incarcerated. But, she deserves to spend the rest of her days and die in federal prison. The evidence compiled by Brown is sickening and the world a better place with one less corrupt politician leaching from the people.
