Kansas man seeks acquittal in Rwandan genocide case
Defense lawyers for Lazare Kobagaya urged a federal judge to overturn the jury verdicts or grant a new trial after a five week trial over charges tied to a green card fraud claim. Jurors convicted him of lying about his whereabouts during the 1994 genocide and the case centered on whether a misstatement on immigration documents was material. The judge granted extra time for further arguments as a mistrial on a separate naturalization count stands unresolved.
