Witness links Nelson to separate conspiracies despite denial
Testimony at the Nelson case centers on a Georgia conspiracy link denied by Judge Simons as separate from the South Carolina case. Olga Mesa testifies about delivering 90 kilos of cocaine to Montcrieft in 1964, while Bowers details Global Investment deals, property purchases, and large cash transfers tied to Nelson. The defense targets credibility of witnesses as prosecutors seek asset forfeitures in SC and Florida, with seven defendants indicted in 1995 for a six year conspiracy.
