Lamar swindler makes another try for freedom

I guess when you have nothing but time on your hands, you can go ahead and keep making legal motion after legal motion.
That is what Patrick Dallas Graham, the Lamar businessman who swindled 500 investors, including pop singer Pat Boone, the Herschend family that owns Silver Dollar City, and the Braschlers of Branson fame, out of more than $5 million.
If you recall, Graham was the CEO of Conquest Labs, Inc., a company that he claimed was developing a vaccine for the AIDS virus. The only problem was the vaccine didn't exist.
Graham filed a motion for a writ of mandamus June 27 in the Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals, only a few weeks after a similar motion was rejected by the court.
If you are interested in more background on this case, you can find it in the May 2 Turner Report at:
