Richard Scrushy, the HealthSouth Corp. founder sent to prison in 2007 for bribery and mail fraud, lost a bid to be released on bond pending a federal appeals court review of his conviction.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the motion yesterday, according to the case docket posted on the Atlanta court’s website. Scrushy asked for the early release in July, after the U.S. Supreme Court asked the Atlanta court to review its decision upholding his conviction.
