A Florida newspaper is trying to pick a fight with Christians for not supporting her. A juror was disqualified by the judge, after the juror told others on the jury that the Holy Spirit said she was not guilty. Clearly, it is a case of a juror misusing religion to try to bias the jury. Their is nothing wrong with Christians using facts, common sense, and their intellect to judge this case. The Orlando Sentinel is just trying to pick a fight and make Christians look bad.

$1,200.00 ($200 + $1,000) token checks were written for “underprivileged children’s education”…….$798,800.00 of donations went straight into the scammers pockets…pitiful….it will a long time before she sees the inside of a voting booth! I wonder if Edward Waters College will rescind her Honorary Law Degree now?

Brown is finally a convicted felon. She should spend the rest of he life in prison. She betrayed the trust of the people and deprived children of much needed funds. Brown should be made to pay restitution. LOCK HER UP.

“I pray Ms. Brown finds Jesus while she is there”… I never knew he went to jail?..

OK but seriously – just because she committed a crime does not mean she was a church going Christian before. I mean look at the Christians in the State of Alabama they helped elect a person who says he is a Christian and is an allegedly a sexual abuser to the office of President and they are trying to elect another Christian and alleged child molester to the Senate.

And I agree with David above, all penalties should be considered. Note that she reports to prison no earlier than January 8 probably because they have to make room for her.

REGARDING:
” 18 felonies and he “seriously” considered probation!!! ”

You should always CONSIDER lesser, less expensive punishment.
It strengthens your ruling if you decide to reject it.

Now, let’s go after ALL the scammers with the same vigor. There is no telling how much damage they do.

David for good judges and better people

she will never see the inside of prison, the apleal will keep her out. “Brown’s attorney said she had been one of the “greatest soldiers” in the civil-rights movement.” needed to make restitution and loose her federal retirement. that would be EQUAL RIGHTS!!!!!
