KEY POINTS:
A lawyer found guilty of defrauding an estate of $150,000 has lost his latest bid to appeal against his conviction.
David James Watt, of Auckland, was jailed for 15 months in February last year and ordered to make reparations of $60,000.
The Court of Appeal declined to overturn his conviction. He then sought leave from the Supreme Court to appeal, but yesterday it dismissed his application.
