SCOTUS Says No To Siegleman Appeal

By: Stephen Crews
Updated: June 4, 2012
The Supreme Court of the United States turned away the appeals of former Governor Don Siegelman and HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy. The high court did so without comment.

For Siegelman, this is the end of the appeals process. He must now go back into federal court in Montgomery, where he was convicted of selling a seat on a hospital regulatory board to Scrushy, and be re-sentenced.

Siegelman served nine months of his sentence before being allowed out on appeal.

Scrushy is now in a half-way house in Houston, Texas after serving almost all his sentence.
