JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Federal prosecutors asked for additional time to consider an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court after an appellate court overturned the conviction of former Congresswoman Corrine Brown on tax and fraud charges.
On Wednesday, a 90-day stay of the issuance of what is known as a “mandate” that would carry out the ruling was granted by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Atlanta-based appellate court, in a 7-4 decision, ordered a new trial for Brown, who was convicted in 2017 on 18 felony counts related to an alleged charity scam.
