Siegelman's Attorneys Ask Appeals Court For
Release

Alabama Governor released from prison pending appeal, this time

media would raise the issue.

Attorneys filed papers Monday with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in Atlanta citing a horrendous delay in the trial transcript and
U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller's failure to provide the appeals court
solid, legal reasons for denying Siegelman an appeal bond.

U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller was ordered nearly two months ago
by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to explain his earlier decision to
deny Siegelman's request for an appeal bond. Fuller issued a
30-page order in response.
