Lawyers for the former Public Utilities Commission General Manager Harlan Kelly, who has been accused in federal court of bank fraud, filed a motion on Monday to nix evidence claiming Kelly consorted with prostitutes on a municipal trip to China.Kelly's attorneys also sought to exclude evidence regarding municipal China trips because they would "necessitate a distracting mini-trial related to Ed Lee."
Including this evidence, Kelly's lawyers argued, would induce a diversion into the alleged activities of the deceased former mayor and other city officials who were among "nearly a dozen people" to travel alongside Kelly to China in 2004.
