Denver • Judges who will decide whether to overturn the conviction of high-profile St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson sharply questioned his attorney on Thursday about key aspects of her arguments.
Johnson, an online entrepreneur who was involved in political scandals involving former Utah Attorneys General John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff, is appealing his conviction and sentence in a bank fraud case.
After a high-profile trial in Salt Lake City last year in which he represented himself, Johnson was convicted on eight counts of providing false information to a bank and found not guilty on 78 others.
