A federal judge has denied former
Minneapolis City Council Member Joe
Biernat's request to stay out of prison
while he appeals his conviction for
public corruption.
U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery said
in a five-page filed Tuesday that the
questions Biernat plans to raise in his
appeal -- largely concerning the
circumstances surrounding two statements
he made to the FBI about receiving free
plumbing work -- had already been considered
by two judges and a jury. She said the
questions don't meet legal standards for
staying a sentence.
