Don king trial drags on
Thursday, July 2, 1998 | 9:53 a.m.
Closing arguments dragged on for a third day in the insurance fraud trial of boxing promoter Don King, with each side accusing the other of misinterpreting the evidence.
The slow pace of the arguments in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Wednesday increased the likelihood that the jury would not receive the case until Monday.
King and his company, Don King Productions Inc., have been on trial for the last 10 weeks on charges that he cheated Lloyd's of London out of $350,000 by submitting a fake contract for a 1991 bout that was canceled.
