William Beavers reports to prison

December 2, 2013 (CHICAGO)

Beavers' attorney says the six-month sentence will be served at a Minnesota prison. Federal appeals court judges have rejected the former Cook County commissioner's attempt to delay his term while he appeals his corruption conviction.

Beavers' attorneys argued that with no prior history, Beavers should be allowed to postpone his date to appear at prison because otherwise, his appeal would likely be decided well after he was released.
