You have to give Patrick Dallas Graham credit.
He has been rejected more times than Harold Stassen but he keeps on trying. It was less than a month ago, that this blog reported that Graham, who was sentenced in 1997 to 15 years in prison for fleecing 500 investors in his company, Conquest Labs, out of more than $5 million, had a habeas corpus petition rejected in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
Graham is back in court again. Last time, he claimed his lawyer was ineffective. This time, according to court documents, he is saying Missouri's sentencing laws are unconstitutional.
Graham still has an action pending in Cole County Circuit Court.
Graham was convicted of fraud after bilking his investors, including pop singer Pat Boone, and the Herschend family, owners of Silver Dollar City in Branson, out of the money they invested in Conquest Labs, which Graham said was working on a vaccine to cure the AIDS virus, as well as other vaccines that would cure cancer and Alzheimer's Disease. In fact, no vaccines existed, and Graham was pouring the proceeds into his own pockets.
He was indicted by a Barton County grand jury in February 1996, following a May 23, 1995, raid of his office on the Lamar square.
