Voir dire concluded on Tuesday in the criminal trial of Atlanta lawyer Nathan Hardwick IV, two-and-a-half years after federal prosecutors indicted him for allegedly embezzling almost $21 million from his now-bankrupt firm, Morris Hardwick Schneider.

MHS’s former controller, Asha Maurya, was also indicted in February 2016 but pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud last year. Maurya is cooperating with the prosecution.
