Judge Considers Up To 12 Years For SiegelmanUS District Judge Mark Fuller announced a sentence range today of ten to 12 years in prison for former Gov. Don Siegelman (D-AL) and eight to ten years for his codefendant.
From the AP:
After hearing attorneys for Siegelman and Scrushy object to findings in a sentencing report filed by federal probation officers, U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller issued his findings on a sentence range for the defendants.
He found that the range for Siegelman was from 121 months to 151 months, with a fine range from $17,500 to $175,000. The prison sentence range for Scrushy was from 97 months to 121 months and the fine range from $15,000 to $150,000.
Fuller does not have to follow the guidelines and can give final sentences that are harsher or more lenient.
The prosecution pushed again today for a 30-year sentence for Siegelman.
