A jury has been selected for Corrine Brown's fraud trial in Jacksonville.
It took three days for the judge to finalize the jurors in the case against Brown.
Brown faces 22 federal charges.
The jury that will determine if Brown is guilty of using a fake charity, One Door for Education, as a personal slush fund is comprised of seven men and five women.
