Posted by rsims June 28, 2007 7:20 PM

A federal judge has sentenced former Gov. Don Siegelman to seven years and four months in prison, three years of probation, restitution of $181,325, a $50,000 fine, and 500 hours of community service for bribery, conspiracy and mail fraud.

HealthSouth founder Richard Scrushy has been sentenced to six years and 10 months in prison, three years of probation, a $150,000 fine, ordered to pay $267,000 restitution, and pay the costs of his prison stay.

Both were taken into federal custody after a judge refused to release them pending appeals.

Leslie Scrushy cried on the shoulder of a friend as her husband and Siegelman were escorted out of the courtroom by U.S. Marshals.

The judge said the costs of incarceration Scrushy would have to pay are $1,952.66 per month and $3,450 per month for supervision.
