Former Fairbanks mayor and convicted felon Jim Hayes wants a new trial

Defense attorney John Murtagh says a judge should have rescheduled the trial of Hayes so his wife could have testified about her central role in stealing more than $400,000 from social service grants.   Jim Hayes was convicted of helping siphon federal grant money from his wife's mentoring center and hiding the thefts through money laundering.Associated PressDownload audio
