MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy 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.
