NEW YORK: Grammy-winning rapper Pras Michel is blaming his lawyer after he was convicted of illegal foreign lobbying and money laundering, saying the attorney performed poorly and used artificial intelligence in his closing remarks at the end of the trial.
Michel is seeking a new trial, claiming his attorney David Kenner failed him before he was found guilty by a jury in April. The crimes included conspiring to lobby illegally to end US probes of Jho Low over the Malaysian tycoon’s role in the 1MDB global corruption scandal.
