One of James Brown's Trustees Is Going To Jail

David Cannon, formerly one of the three trustees of James Brown's estate, will serve six months in Aiken, SC, for contempt of court after failing to pay back a $350,000 royalty check that was accidentally mailed to him. He claimed he was unable to pay back the money despite paying a contractor $866,000 in cash to build his house in Honduras in 2007. Cannon also failed to turn over financial documents related to Brown's estate.
