A former Kentucky Wildcat is breathing a big sigh of relief. A federal jury acquitted Randolph Morris of several tax crimes today for failing to report more than $13 million he earned while playing professionally in China from 2010 to 2017. In February, Morris was charged with three counts of wire fraud and eight counts of making false statements; however, a jury ruled that he did not intentionally defraud the United States.
Morris took the stand on Tuesday and Wednesday and testified that he believed his income from the Beijing Ducks was already taxed because his agent Wallace Prather told him so.
