Lexington, KY — Disgraced former social security attorney Eric C. Conn has filed a motion to be released from jail. Conn filed a handwritten motion from prison asking that his guilty plea be overturned due to his former attorney, Scott White, having a conflict of interest. Conn was sentenced to 27 years in prison due to his role in a multi-million-dollar Social Security fraud scheme. Conn escaped to Honduras before being sentenced. Conn was captured in a Honduran Pizza Hut and extradited to the United States and a new counsel was assigned to his case. According to the motion, his second counsel, Willis Coffey, was ineffective due to his convincing Conn to plead guilty to the escape charge. It’s not clear when the court will rule on Conn’s motion.
