Attorneys for Thomas Kovach filed recent documents saying there's a lack of evidence linking him to the crime, but prosecutors say Kovach "knowingly" transferred more than $300,000 meant for the LVMPD Foundation into his personal account.
Kovach's lawyers point specifically to the word "knowingly" in the prosecution's case, saying they didn't give a grand jury the proper, legal definition of the word.
A judge will consider the case on Dec. 17, and a trial is scheduled for May 2025.
