Siegelman To Be Released From Prison Pending Appeal
By Jon Paepcke, NBC 13
ATLANTA, Ga. -- The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has granted former Gov. Don Siegelman's request to be released from prison pending the outcome of his appeal.
Siegelman is currently serving a 7 year sentence in the Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex in Louisiana following his 2006 public corruption conviction.
Acting U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin confirms the 11th Circuit granted Siegelman's release in a four page order which states Siegelman had raised a "significant question" about his conviction.
Siegelman was convicted of accepting $500,000 in campaign contributions from HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy in exchange for giving Scrushy a seat on a state hospital board.
Scrushy is serving a similar sentence at a federal prison in Texas.
