According to court records, Corrine Brown's appeal will be heard before judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit during the week of December 10 in Atlanta, Ga.
Former Congresswoman Corrine Brown's attorneys appealed her conviction on fraud and tax evasion charges, saying the judge in the case wrongfully removed a juror.
The 76-page document says Judge Timothy Corrigan erred when he removed Juror 13 from a deadlocked panel of jurors. That decision came after another member of the panel, Juror 8, wrote a note saying Juror 13 claimed a "higher power" told him Brown was not guilty.
