Attorney Michael Avenatti’s future is now in the jury’s hands in the Nike-related extortion and fraud case.
The disgraced lawyer is accused of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to go public with evidence that the company had paid off the families of young NBA-bound athletes
At 11:31 am, federal Judge Paul Gardephe sent a group of six women and six men to start deliberating.
The 12 jurors need to consider if prosecutors proved that Avenatti is guilty on three counts: transmission of interstate communications with intent to extort, attempted extortion, and wire fraud. If convicted on all counts, he could spend up to 42 years in prison.

I bet he’ll be convicted on all counts.
Won’t miss him if he’s gone for 42 years.
Alyssa is hoping they hurry up and acquit him so that he’ll have time to jump into the Democrat primary.
I’d be shocked if he was acquitted.
He’s too scummy for even democrats to try to save.
And this case is not the end of it. He faces other charges.
Apparenlty, his right to a speedy trial has been granted.
It doesn’t seem so long ago that he was promoting himself as a candidate for President.
“It doesn’t seem so long ago that he was promoting himself as a candidate for President.”
actually, CNN was the biggest promoter of that nonsense ...
