Sword's mother has denied that her son mentioned any dollar figure.

Canty, who did not return several phone calls, has said that the $12,000 his client is charged with stealing "sounds...high."

A man answering the phone last night at Canty's home said the lawyer is on vacation, "taking some R&R."
