Brown May Be Freed: A Georgia state judge on Wednesday cleared the way for soul singer James Brown to get out of a South Carolina prison. State Court Judge Gayle Hamrick cut 90 days off Brown’s Georgia sentence, making him eligible for work release in South Carolina. South Carolina officials could not say when Brown would be freed from prison or where he would be employed. Brown is serving a six-year sentence in South Carolina on multiple charges. Brown’s attorney said he would like to see South Carolina officials line up a radio or television job for Brown.
