The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has granted former (DEMOCRAT) Gov. Don Siegelman's request to be released from prison pending the outcome of his appeal.
Siegelman is currently serving a 7-year sentence in the Oakdale Federal Correctional Complex in Louisiana following his 2006 public corruption conviction.
Acting U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin confirms the 11th Circuit granted Siegelman's release in a four- page order which states Siegelman had raised a "significant question" about his conviction.
