ATLANTA (AP) - A federal appeals court has refused to release
former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy from federal prison while
his bribery conviction is being appealed.
The U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Scrushy's motion
to be released on an appeal bond. Appellate Judges Gerald Tjoflat
and R. Lanier Anderson wrote in an order that Scrushy had not shown
that he was not a flight risk if released from prison.
Scrushy and former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman were convicted last year of bribery and other charges in a federal government
corruption case.
Siegelman also has a motion for release on appeal bond pending
with the 11th Circuit.
