NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A former NBA player convicted of wire fraud in an alleged real estate Ponzi scheme is seeking to have his conviction thrown out and claiming prosecutorial misconduct, among other allegations.
Tate George said in a recent court filing that his conviction last fall should be reversed for several reasons, including that the government used a witness who lied on the stand and that prosecutors never proved that investors suffered losses due to any illegal actions by him. George also claimed his attorney didn’t try to present documents and testimony into evidence that could have proved his innocence.
