2023-10-17 3

Lawyers for convicted Fugees rapper Pras Michel alleged in a new motion that his previous attorney, David Kenner, provided inadequate and unethical representation during Michel's trial. The motion states that Kenner used an experimental AI program he had a financial stake to draft his closing argument, but the AI did a poor job. The motion accuses Kenner of violating a court order by leaking materials to Bloomberg, similar to previous accusations of attempting to influence the jury through selective leaks. Here is a one sentence summary: Michel's new attorneys are seeking a new trial, arguing his previous trial was unfair due to Kenner's alleged unpreparedness and violations.
