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.
