Brown Gun Case: Rap Brown Remains Free on Bond
H. Rap Brown, 24, SNCC chair, remains free on a $15,000 bond while appealing a federal conviction for violating the National Firearms Act. He faces up to five years and a $2,000 fine after a racially charged trial in which the defense argued persecution and the government asserted knowledge of the Maryland indictment. The case centers on Brown’s travel with an M1 carbine while under indictment and whether he knew of that indictment during the 1967 transport.
