LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The attorney for a woman charged with trying to extort University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino wants thousands of pages of evidence excluded from the trial. James Earhart, who represents Karen Cunagin Sypher, said in a motion filed late Tuesday night that prosecutors have turned over about 3,100 pages of evidence since March. Earhart says the large volume of documents, including phone records, photos and medical records, makes it difficult to review all the material so close to the trial date. Along with extortion, Sypher has pleaded not guilty to charges of retaliating against a witness and lying to the FBI. She is accused of demanding from Pitino college tuition for her children, her house to be paid off and $10 million. Testimony in the trial is scheduled to begin July 26. -------- Online: http://www.kywd.uscourts.gov/cases/usa(underscore)v(underscore)syphe r/ (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press.
