Lawyer Accused of Stealing From the Poor
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Russian emigre Nikolai Tehin put himself through law school and apparently obtained the American dream after three decades of lawyering: a 73-foot yacht, a seemingly endless fleet of luxury cars and an $8 million home.But the rags-to-riches saga could end in federal prison for the now-disgraced and disbarred attorney. Tehin's fraud trial was scheduled to begin Monday and he faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted.
