Ron Isley Faces Up To 26 Years In Prison If Convicted RON ISLEY FACES JUDGE OVER TAX
EVASION: Isley Brother is accused of shady reporting and cashing checks meant for entire group. *Ronald Isley’s trial for tax evasion began Wednesday in Los Angeles. The Isley Brothers front man faces up to 26 years in prison if convicted on five counts of tax evasion, including charges that he demanded fees in cash for his tour dates in order to blur the amount used for expenses vs. profit; and used for his own benefit royalty checks issued to other Isley Brothers-related enterprises – including his brother O'Kelly, who died in 1986. He is also charged with one count of failing to file a tax return. Prosecutors say the 64-year-old singer, whose voice powered such Isley Bros. classics as "Who's That Lady" and “Between the Sheets,” used the pilfered funds to buy a yacht and two mansions in Missouri. The main prosecution witness is Isley's former tour manager, Ruby Martin, an eight- year employee of the singer who is testifying under immunity from charges that she did not file her own income taxes on time for four years. Isley, who emerged from bankruptcy in the early 1990s, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. source: eurweb.com | |

It's a damn shame if this is true, that would really demystify him as a good person. I'm going to assume that the songs he did with R.Kelly didn't net him much money if he has this trial going on, it makes you wonder was it worth it all ? Jeux Sans Frontiers | |

The Isleys are an amazing, influential group, but I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be true. It seems those who have the most money want to part with it the least. Ronnie, Ronnie...I hope things turn out for the best. | |

He should serve time for lowering himself to working with the likes of R. Kelly. Now that was a crime. Andy is a four letter word. | |
