Karen Sypher releases book from prison
Posted: 6:54 PM Apr 24, 2012
The woman convicted of extorting Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino has released a new book from prison.
It's called "Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Karen Sypher Story."
In it, Sypher claims the government protected Pitino and falsely portrayed her as a prostitute.
Sypher is serving a more than seven-year sentence in a federal prison.
But the Courier-Journal reports her lawyers are upset with the timing of the book since an appeals court will hear her case next month.
The lawyers fear the book could hurt her chances of getting a new trial.
