Don King has second round in court for charge of fraud
NEW YORK — Prosecutors had to team up with a vindictive former financial manager of Don King to dig up enough evidence to charge the boxing promoter with insurance fraud, King's lawyer said in an opening statement yesterday.
The Associated Press
Peter Fleming Jr. played an audio tape in federal court in Manhattan, N.Y., that contained the voice of the former chief financial officer, Joseph Maffia, cursing King in a May 1992 telephone call.
"I'm going to kick your ... ass," Maffia said in the call as King questioned who was calling.
Fleming turned the tape off, smiled slightly and told jurors sarcastically, "You're going to
love Maffia."
King: His trial for insurance fraud is under way.
He accused prosecutors of working to help Maffia achieve his threat against King. He said the government subpoenaed tens of thousands of documents in an antiterrorist
Fleming said prosecutors misunderstood the complicated sequence of events that led to the insurance claim and that left out key information to portray his client as a crook.
The problem, prosecutors said in their opening last week, was King's attempt to steal $350,000 from Lloyd's of London by faking a contract for a canceled 1991 bout between Julio Cesar
that revealed a problem 18 months later.
Fleming told the jury that King, charged with nine counts of wire fraud, was not the only defendant in the case. Also charged is his company, Don King Productions Inc.
Chavez and Harold Brazier.
"There are times in this country when our government has gone too far," he said.
The tall, silver-haired lawyer told the jury that he represented "Don King, the human being," then he patted him twice on the back.
Fleming said King rose from nothing to one of the most powerful positions in boxing.
"None of you can be against hard work and striving, and that is Don King," Fleming told iurors.
Fleming said representatives of Lloyds of London waited until a year ago to file a civil lawsuit to recover the money it lost. The suit was filed after prosecutors suggested it as a way to help the criminal case, he said.
Two years ago, a trial of King on the same charges ended with a hung jury. His company since has been added as a defendant.
William H. Murphy Jr., the lawyer for the company, told jurors that no crime was committed in the case.

Boston, last overall last season, finished fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 2-1 victory against Philadelphia on Sunday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — With a meaningless final month of the regular season out of the war, the New Jersey
the way, the New Jersey Devils must shift gears and get going again in the plavoffs.
But can they?
looked ordinary in the closing weeks. The team had a 3-5-2 record in its final 10 games and goaltender Martin Brodeur, who challenged Bernie Parent's single-season record for wins, was 1-5-1 in his last eight starts, which included one no decision.
Although the Devils clearly were the best team in the Eastern Conference this season, Jacques Lemaire's group
Not even a tight race with Dallas for the President's Trophy could get the Devils back on track.
The recent slump does not seem to concern the Devils, who will start a best-of-seven, first-round playoff series with the Ottawa Senators tomorrow night in New Jersey.
"We know we didn't finish the way we wanted to," center Denis Pederson said. "But it's done with."
The Senators could prove challenging. They have won six of nine games down the stretch, and they split four games with the Devils this season.
In the most recent game, Ottawa took a big step toward making the playoffs a second straight year by wiping out a 2-0 third-period deficit en route to a 3-2 win. It was only one of three times in 47 games New Jersey blew a lead after two periods.
"We know Ottawa won't be an easy team," Lemaire said. "They've been probably one of the top teams lately. Against us, they always play a tight game."
The Devilis and Senators combined for only 14 goals in four games. The wins by New Jersey came on shutouts by Brodeur three days apart in early February.
"They have a few players, and they have a good power play," Brodeur said. "We feel comfort to play these guys. They're a team with a system so you always have to play well against a team that's well organized. They're well coached. We have to make sure we're ready."
Alexei Yashin and Daniel Alfredsson are the two major scoring threats for Ottawa. Yashin, who had 33 goals this season, did not score in the four games against New Jersey but he had four assists. Alfredsson had a team-high two goals.
"They have played us tough all year," said Devils defenseman Lyle Odelein. "Yashin and Alfredsson can really change the complexion of a game."
The Senators have improved each of the past five seasons. Their 34-33-15 mark was their first winning record since coming into the league six years ago.
"We feel we can beat any team that we're playing right now," said Senators goalie Damian Rhodes, who played in all four games against New Jersey. "They're pretty stingy, and they have the experience. We just have to go in there and work hard."
Ottawa had a great final game Sunday night, taking 51 shots against Dominik Hasek and Steve Shields in a 2 win against Buffalo.
"We wanted to go out there and shoot the puck against Hasek," Alfredson said. "We're going to face Brodeur so we wanted to establish good forechecking."
Kenya gets eighth-straight victory
Boston Marathon reunites runner with his 1996 title
The Associated Press
BOSTON — With four miles left, Moses Tauui was so far behind the leaders he could not even see them.
With a relentless drive, Taniui kept surging, cutting into a quarter-mile deficit and finally catching the front-runners. Then, with a stunning kick past the final 200 meters, he gave Kenya an eight-straight Boston Marathon victory.
Regaining the title he won in Boston's centennial race in 1966, the
32-year old Tanui rallied from 48 seconds back with a powerful run, passing countryman Joseph Chebet.
"I was confident I could catch the leaders because they were running too fast," "Tanui said," "I caught them, and I still had energy."
The victory put the Kenyans within one of the record of nine straight victories by Americans from 1916 to 1925, when there were no Africans in the race. The 1918 race did not count because there was competition only among teams.
Tanui's time of 2 hours, 7 minutes and 34 seconds, was the third-fastest in the race its 102 year history, behind 1994 1-2 finishers Cosmas Nedeti of Kenya (2.07:15) and Andres Espinosa of Mexico (2.07:19).
It also was the fastest of Tanui's
career by more than one minute.
Cheetfin finished second at 2:07:37 and Gert Thys, trying to become the race's first South African champion, was third at 2:07:52, making it the closest three-man finish ever. Next was Andre Ramos of Brazil at 2:08:26 and John Kagwe of Kenya at 2:08:51, giving the Kenyans three of the top five.
Ethiopia's Fatuma Roba, the 1996 Olympic women's gold medalist, also produced her fastest time of her career, winning Boston for the second-straight year in 2:33:21. Only Uta Pippig of Germany, with 2:21:45 in 1994, and Joan Benoit Samulson, with 2:22:43 in 1983, ran faster.
The women's race was decided early, when Roba broke away from Colleen de Reuck of South Africa.
After the runners came off the uphills of Heartbreak Hill and charged down the hills, the course flattened out, and Tanui began making up ground rapidly. By mile 23, he had caught Chebet and Thys at the front.
The wily Tamal laid the fast early pace set by a group of 10 to 12 runners.
The tension was greater in the men's competition.
The women's world record of 2:20:47 was set Sunday by Kenya's Tegla Loroupe at Rotterdam.

The runner-up in Boston was Renata Paradowska of Poland at 2:17:15 and Anuta Catuna of Romania finished third at 2:27:32. They were followed by 1995 world champion Manuela Machado of Portugal at 2:29:13 and de Reuck at 2:29:43.
