has again asked a federal appeals court in Atlanta to release him
from prison while his conviction is being appealed.
Scrushy's attorney, Art Leach, said Friday 10 Alabama residents
or couples have agreed to put their homes up as bond to insure that
Scrushy would not try to flee while out of prison. In earlier
motions to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Scrushy offered
his own homes in Birmingham and on Lake Martin and other property
as bond.
The court rejected the earlier motions.
Scrushy and former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman were convicted in
2006 of bribery and other charges in a government corruption case.
Siegelman is currently out of prison on an appeal bond.
