Prosecutors wrapped up their closing arguments Monday in the tax evasion and fraud trial of former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown (Fla.) by telling jurors the evidence overwhelmingly shows that Brown used her ‘charitable organization' to illegally benefit herself and staffers.
The prosecution added that Brown's actions effectively led to needy children being robbed of scholarships.
"The real victims are all of those worthy kids who could have gotten scholarships, who needed a leg up. That's who she robbed from, those kids," Eric G. Olshan, one of the prosecutors, said during the one-hour closing arguments against Brown, Jacksonville.com reported.

Corinne Brown: “Go Gata!”
Jackson and Pelosi are backing her? Well, she must be 100% innocent. Besides, she had a (D) next to her name that stands for dishonest. Since she was honest about being dishonest before hand, we can prove she had any intent of wrong doing.

Maybe I should’ve included both of you to my post 5. You might understand what I meant. I am originally from Gainesville, so Ms. Brown is someone I have long been aware of.
I'll be laughing my ass off to see Corrine Brown go to prison for a variation of the same scam that Hillary Clinton got away with, --and made 100 times as much money at!
When shes found guilty, and theres no doubt about it, i wonder which of the race baiters out there will scream racism? Or will they be smart for once and shut their mouths?
Ah. So she was running a small time Clinton Foundation.

The big difference is the Clinton’s knows how to cover their tracks and play the grifter game and they know where the bodies are buried. They probably buried them...!
Brown simply thought because of her color, they wouldn’t touch her...
