An American Catholic priest will be sentenced later for embezzling money from a charity meant for Detroit's poor.
Revd Timothy Kane stole money from the Angel Fund ranging from one thousand to 20 thousand dollars.
The charity provides cash for people in urgent need in Detroit.
Revd Kane, 58, was removed from St. Moses the Black Parish in Detroit when allegations were initially made against him.
Some parishioners have written character references to present to the judge.
The priest could face up to 20 years in prison although it's not thought the sentence will be that long.
During his trial the jury were told how he collaborated with a prison inmate to recruit people to make false claims for aid which he would approve.
The Angel Fund has now been scrapped.
