(AP) - The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the requests of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy for the full 12-judge court to review arguments to overturn their convictions in a government corruption case. A three-judge panel from the 11th Circuit in March upheld 5 of the seven bribery and corruption charges against Siegelman and all six charges against Scrushy. Attorneys for Siegelman and Scrushy had asked the full court to review the appeal. The court's refusal was posted on its Web site Friday. The 63-year-old Siegelman and 56-year-old Scrushy were convicted in 2006 by a federal jury in Montgomery.
