Mike Tyson's appeals lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, will argue today in Indianapolis that his client should get a new trial because Judge Patricia J. Gifford blocked testimony from witnesses challenging the truthfulness of the woman who accused him of rape.
Tyson, 26, was convicted Feb. 10, 1992, and later sentenced to six years in prison after beauty contestant Desiree Washington told jurors he raped her six months earlier in his Indianapolis hotel room.
