From Bloomberg:
June 28 (Bloomberg) -- HealthSouth Corp. founder Richard Scrushy was sentenced to six years and 10 months in prison for bribing former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman in a scheme to steer business to the company.
U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller in Montgomery, Alabama, handed down the sentence today, a year after a jury convicted Scrushy, 54, and Siegelman, 61. Fuller sentenced Siegelman to seven years and four months in prison.
The judge denied their request for bail while they appeal their sentences. At the end of today's hearing, both men were taken into custody.
