ILL-inois: Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter found guilty of money laundering

The rotten apple doesn't fall far from the diseased tree.

From the Chicago Tribune:

The daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Barack Obama’s former minister, was convicted by a federal jury Friday of laundering thousands of dollars from a $1.25 million state grant for a Chicago-based job-training program.

Jeri Wright said she would "definitely" appeal the verdict in U.S. District Court, which found her guilty of 11 counts that included money laundering, lying to federal agents and lying to a grand jury.
