US Supreme Court won't review Petters' conviction
AP foreign, Tuesday May 15 2012
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court says it won't take up the case of Minnesota businessman Tom Petters.
In documents made public Tuesday, the nation's highest court denied Petters' request to review his 2009 conviction on charges he orchestrated a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme.
This means the lower court decision upholding his conviction will stand.
Petters is currently serving a 50-year sentence at a federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan. He continues to proclaim his innocence.
