Former Eastern Kentucky attorney Eric C. Conn  filed a handwritten motion earlier this month, asking federal judges to set aside or correct his sentence.

 last year Conn was sentenced to 27 years in prison  for Social Security fraud and fleeing abroad to avoid prosecution. After he was captured in a Honduran Pizza Hut and extradited back to the United States, he was ordered to pay millions of dollars in restitution.

The former attorney claims that his counsel, Scott White, had a conflict of interest on the “pre-leaving for Honduras charge” since White was under investigation himself in this particular matter.

Hundreds of Conn’s former clients lost their Social Security benefits in the wake of the fraud scheme. While several hundred got their benefits reinstated, thanks to a court order, many others are still waiting for a class-action lawsuit to possibly get their benefits back.
