Judge orders Fattah to prison despite appeal
By Cristina Marcos - 12/20/16 01:52 PM EST

Former Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.) will have to appeal his corruption conviction from prison starting in January, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.

Fattah, 60, was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison on charges of fraud, bribery and money laundering after a jury convicted him on more than 20 counts. He has been ordered to report to prison by Jan. 25.

Fattah had argued a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that limits the legal definition of bribery would likely help his appeal, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

His son is in prison, for political corruption too.

Seems like a family, party and race political phenomenon.
