A federal court has given attorneys for
former Governor Don Siegelman and HealthSouth founder Richard
Scrushy until May 23rd to file briefs in the appeal of their 2006
convictions.
The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the
filing deadline yesterday. Prosecutors have 60 days after May 23rd
to file a response. Defense lawyers have 45 days after that to file
a second brief.
Siegelman lawyer Vince Kilborn of Mobile said he expects to file
the first appeal brief in April. He estimated oral arguments on the
case could be heard in late 2008.
Siegelman and Scrushy have been in prison for almost nine
months. Siegelman was sentenced to seven years and four months, and
Scrushy was sentenced to six years and 10 months.
