Convicted lawyer Michael Avenatti’s request for a new trial was denied as a judge ruled prosecutors’ allegedly improper conduct didn’t impact a jury that found he tried to extort $25 million from Nike Inc.
The ruling ensures that Avenatti, who was found guilty in February 2020 after a three-week trial in Manhattan, will be sentenced after a long delay caused by the pandemic.
A New York judge sentenced the combative California lawyer Michael Avenatti to 2 1/2 years in prison for trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to use his popularity to damage the company’s reputation.
Michael Avenatti was on every TV channel that was against President Trump at the time. Many in the democratic party/ the Media wanted him to run for the president of the United States of America. What a choice.
Just a thought.
