        JUDGE SAYS BAPTIST LEADER INVOLVED IN FRAUD
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        BATON ROUGE, La. -- The former president of the
        National Baptist Convention USA resorted to fraud
        in an attempt to keep his allies in power, a judge
        has found.

        "This court has never witnessed and hopes never
        again to witness the kind of fraud perpetuated on
        this court, as well as the despicable, conscious
        and collusive conduct," District of Columbia
        Superior Court Judge Zinora Mitchel-Rankin wrote
        on June 21.

        The Rev. T.J. Jemison of Baton Rouge and his allies
        submitted false and forged affidavits and gave the
        court an inaccurate copy of the Washington-based
        convention's constitution, among other things, the
        judge said.  She ordered them to pay a $150,000 fine
        and court costs.
