Celebrity Lawyer Admits to Leaking Evidence in Fugees Rapper's Case

Prominent celebrity lawyer David Kenner pleaded guilty to leaking grand jury information to reporters about a political conspiracy case against Fugees rapper Pras Michel, for which he was sentenced to a year of unsupervised probation and a $5,000 fine. Kenner's actions led to a misdemeanor contempt of court charge, and his client, Michel, was eventually convicted of all 10 counts. Kenner's attorney argued that the reporters initially agreed to sign a protective order, but later changed their minds. Michel is now pushing for a new trial, claiming that Kenner made a host of errors, including bungling closing arguments by using an artificial intelligence program.
