<p>By GINIA BELLAFANTE

<p> This time it's Mike Tyson's fortune he's seeking to reverse.
Fabled Claus von Bulow miracle worker ALAN DERSHOWITZ has argued
that the ex-heavyweight champ's 1992 rape conviction should
be overturned, largely because the trial judge precluded a crucial
line of defense, one that would have allowed attorneys to claim
that Tyson truly believed his accuser, Desiree Washington, had
consented to sex. Dershowitz also faulted the judge for blocking
the testimony of three witnesses who would have stamped a pronounced
question mark on the young beauty contestant's credibility.
One claimed to have seen Tyson and Washington "necking" before
the alleged rape took place. Boasts Dershowitz: "This is the
strongest appeal I've had in 29 years of practice."
