Former Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown asked for leniency from a federal judge in Florida on Friday. She faces a lengthy prison term after being convicted of stealing thousands of dollars that were meant to go to charity.

In May, a jury convicted Brown of 18 felony counts, including filing false tax returns, mail fraud, and working with others to run a fake non-profit group.

This is a problem for the judge.  If she goes to prison, she will claim the judge is racist.  If she doesn't, it will be because the judge is afraid of being branded a racist.  I think, all things in the judicial system being unequal, the judge will be merciful.
