King’s Lawyer Close To Tears

A prosecutor’s charge that Don King’s testimony in his insurance fraud trial was “absurd” and full of lies so upset the boxing promoter’s lawyer that he told jurors in closing arguments he might cry.

It was a lively climax to a six-week trial that had produced snores and yawns from spectators who watched prosecutors try to prove King faked a boxing contract to collect $350,000 in insurance money for a 1991 cancelled fight.
