According to a recent court filing (see below), Tyrone Freeman’s million-dollar
attorneys at Mayer
Brown have appealed the 33-month
jail term handed down by a federal judge in Los Angeles earlier this month.
The appeal, filed with the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco, will cost beaucoup bucks… and once again has raised a
burning and unresolved question:

One thing’s for certain: it ain’t Freeman.
After all, when
Freeman's wife appeared in court earlier this year during Freeman's criminal
trial, she was assigned a Public

funneling the payments through other organizations as well as a series of law firms in
an effort to hide the payments.
