Sean Kingston and his mother have filed a motion to dismiss federal wire fraud charges related to an alleged jewelry theft case. The motion was submitted to Florida State Court in Fort Lauderdale on December 31.

The pair, who were arrested in May and arraigned in August, face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud involving high-end cars, jewelry, and other goods allegedly purchased using fraudulent documents.

Key points from the motion:

• Kingston's attorneys claim federal prosecutor AUSA Anton is colluding with state prosecutors to establish federal jurisdiction
• They argue the case belongs in Florida State Court
• The defense questions why a national security prosecutor is handling a wire fraud case
• The motion cites "selective and vindictive" prosecution
• They request either dismissal or an evidentiary hearing

If the dismissal is denied, the defendants are requesting discovery and an evidentiary hearing at the federal level. Their attorney, Robert Rosenblatt, maintains Kingston's innocence and is prepared to try the case in both state and federal courts if necessary.
