MIAMI -- With just over a year to go in his five-year sentence, former TV weatherman Bill Kamal has filed new motions in federal court to vacate his sentence, Local 10 has learned.

He's serving time in prison after his 2004 arrest in an Internet sex sting. Kamal is asking not only for his sentence to be thrown out, but he's also asking the court to remove the lifetime supervision he'll face after his release, Local 10's Julie Summers reported.

Kamal, the former Channel 7 meteorologist, was arrested in October of 2004 outside a convenience store in Ft. Pierce accused of arranging to have sex with a minor, but the 14-year-old he had been conversing with over the Internet was an undercover detective instead.

"If I were the judge reading this motion, I would be very concerned that he had not accepted responsibility for his actions because in this motion he's saying that he didn't do anything wrong," said Local 10 legal analyst Lee Stapleton.

Kamal's former attorney, Jeffrey Voluck, believes "the motion really has no substance at all."

Voluck also told Local 10 that Kamal's claim that he was pressured into a plea deal is simply not true.

"A lot of times in these types of cases the individuals don't really want to admit they have a problem. And not admitting that they have a problem creates another problem," said Voluck.

But in a 2005 prison house interview with Local 10, Kamal said differently. "I was a weather man, a meteorologist. I wasn't a news person. I didn't have my rolodex filled with detectives and federal agents. . . Who the hell knew what I was doing."

Voluck said Kamal is forgetting about the explicit e-mails he sent to the supposed 14-year-old.

According to investigators one read, "It would be our secret: a Dad-son's love, plus the sex."

"Who the hell would have thought that by being alone in my house in the confines of my own secure home that I was a,) committing a felony and b,) that this would happen to me?" Kamal said in a 2005 interview with Local 10.

Voluck said he believes differently.

"Bill would be better off if he came to grips with what he did, and move forward in his life," the attorney said.

Kamal's scheduled release date is March of next year, but he could be placed in a halfway house before then, Summers reported.

A judge has ruled that prosecutors must respond to Kamal's motion within the next few weeks.
