Missed filing deadline costs Harris chance to challenge conviction

An attempt by offshore provider Marc Harris to overturn his conviction for money laundering and tax evasion has failed because of an apparent blunder by his attorneys.
On January 23, 2004, U. S. District Judge James Cohn threw out Harris’ motion for a Judgment of Acquittal because it was filed after the statutory deadline for post trial motions had expired.
