Overview
- Sean Kingston and his mother, Janice Turner, are accused of wire fraud and conspiracy involving over $1 million in luxury goods and services.
- Prosecutors presented evidence of false electronic payment confirmations sent to vendors to secure goods without actual payments.
- Turner's testimony acknowledged awareness that the payment messages sent to vendors were false, supporting the prosecution's case.
- The defense argues that Kingston and Turner lacked financial sophistication and that vendors were eventually paid, at least partially.
- Jury deliberations began Friday afternoon, with both defendants facing up to 20 years in prison for each count of wire fraud if convicted.
