DETROIT, MI – A trial for a priest and an alleged accomplice accused of scheming a charity for money has been pushed back to September.

The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday the jury trial of Father Timothy J. Kane, 57, of Detroit, and accomplice Dorreca M. Brewer, 34, has been adjourned from July 7 because of a scheduling conflict. The trial is now scheduled to begin Sept. 29, before Judge Bruce Morrow.

Kane and Brewer are charged with conspiracy to operate a criminal enterprise, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison; using a computer to commit a crime, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison; uttering and publishing, a 14-year felony; conspiracy to commit uttering and publishing, a 14-year-felony; embezzlement between $1,000 and $20,000, a 10-year felony; and conspiracy to embezzle between $1,000 and $20,000, a 10-year felony.
