Siegelman's Attorneys File Motion For Former Governor's Release During Appeal

Wednesday, Feb 20, 2008 - 04:54 PM

Attorneys for former Gov. Don Siegelman have filed a motion asking an appeals court to release their client during the appeal of his conviction in a government corruption case.

Siegelman's attorneys say a federal judge made several errors when he refused an appeal bond.

Attorneys claim there was substantial reason Siegelman would win on appeal. The filing also argues that charges were brought too late.

The move comes after the judge stated his reasons for refusing to allow Siegelman to remain free on bond during the appeal.
