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, initially 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:

• Defense attorneys argue that federal prosecutors are improperly collaborating with state prosecutors to establish federal jurisdiction
• They contend that Florida State Court is the appropriate venue for the case
• The motion questions why a national security prosecutor is handling a wire fraud case
• Defense claims the prosecution appears "selective and vindictive"

If the dismissal is denied, the defendants request:

• Permission for discovery at the federal level
• An evidentiary hearing to determine if dismissal is warranted

Attorney Robert Rosenblatt maintains his client's innocence, stating they are "looking forward to trying his case in state or federal court or both if necessary."
