MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge has refused to release
former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman on bond while his government
corruption conviction is appealed.
U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller of Montgomery ruled that
Siegelman has not shown that he has a substantial chance of winning
his case on appeal.
Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy were
convicted last year of bribery and other charges. In June, Fuller
sentenced them to federal prison terms and ordered them immediately
taken into custody.
Fuller's ruling applied only to Siegelman. A similar request by
Scrushy is pending.
