Sypher Doesn't Need More Time
According to the U.S. attorney's office, Karen Sypher was told that there is no reason to give her more time to file for a new trial.
Jim Earhart, Sypher's lawyer, filed a motion suggesting one or more witnesses against Sypher committed perjury and he wants 45 days to investigate.
However, the government says if newly discovered evidence is uncovered, Sypher has three years from the time of her conviction to ask for a new trial.
Sypher was convicted earlier this month for trying to extort money from University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.
Karen Sypher is scheduled for sentencing on Oct. 27.
