Brown estate wrangling

AIKEN, S.C. — A trustee accused of misappropriating $350,000 of James Brown’s money resigned and handed over a check for that amount during a court hearing, a newspaper reported. David Cannon also resigned Friday as co-executor of the late soul singer’s will during a four-hour hearing before Circuit Judge Jack Early, The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle reported Saturday. A follow-up hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 24 as various people wrangle over the late soul singer’s estate.
