Robert Simels, one-time lawyer for Roger Khan, has failed to have his convictions for conspiracy and other offences overturned.
According to today’s New York Law Journal, Simels failed to convince a federal appeals court to overturn convictions for conspiracy, attempted obstruction of justice and bribery.
The convictions stemmed from Simels’ attempts to build a defence for Khan. The court’s ruling means that the high-flying criminal defence attorney will serve a 14-year prison term
