ATLANTA (AP) - Attorneys for former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell have filed a motion seeking to dismiss his conviction for tax evasion.
A federal jury found Campbell guilty earlier this month of tax evasion, but cleared him of charges he lined his pockets with payoffs as he guided Atlanta through a period of robust development in the 1990s.
Campbell, 52, could get up to nine years in prison and $300,000 in fines. However, legal experts have said it is doubtful he will get the maximum sentence.
