In the face of the substantial evidence presented at trial and the jury’s verdict, Harris repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, insisting that “[t]his elaborate story is not what happened . . . . I was completely transparent.” “I didn’t steal no money from nobody.” He imagined that “[t]he jury convicted me because I got scared and I fled, I panicked. That’s the only reason.” Finally, he implored the court, “[y]our Honor, I am not this person y’all are making me out to be. I don’t do fraud. Never have. Never will. I don’t take money from people. I am just not that person.” At no point did the court indicate that his silence would have been held against him.
what a nutjob, hope he is enjoying his 23 years.......
