Former U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown will be sentenced this Monday in Jacksonville for federal fraud and other charges related to a purported charity for poor students that she used as a personal slush fund.
Brown and her co-conspirators, Carla Wiley and Ronnie Simmons, are convicted of using a fake education charity as their personal slush fund.
Brown’s attorneys argued for leniency at a hearing last month.
Prosecutors are asking the judge not to sentence her to anything less than 5 years in prison, but her attorneys only want probation.
The 71-year-old Brown is due in court at 10 a.m. Wiley and Simmons will also be sentenced today.
