Hecker Accuses Lawyer, Trustee Of Lying

(AP) Disgraced Twin Cities auto dealer Denny Hecker has written a letter to a bankruptcy judge accusing a bankruptcy trustee and his own former attorney of lying.

The letter was written in pencil and dated January 17.  In it, Hecker writes that his former lawyer lied about the source of $75-thousand dollars that Hecker used to secure the title to his home in Medina.

Hecker then says a bankruptcy-court trustee figured out the lawyer's deceit and used that information to blackmail the lawyer into revealing information about Hecker that hurt his bankruptcy case.

Hecker pleaded guilty last September to conspiracy and bankruptcy fraud charges.

Hecker acknowledged near the top of the letter, "I am not saying I am not guilty at all."
