It has been two months since the All-Republican Alabama Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the appeal of the never-ending case against former Republican Speaker of The Alabama House Mike Hubbard.
No word so far about a ruling.
During arguments in court:
Alabama Solicitor General Edmund LaCour told justices that Hubbard was given the jobs and investments because of his position as speaker.
“The speakers seat is a valuable one” LaCour said in court, “and he used it to rake in more than $1 million in personal gain, over the course of less than 2 years”.
(From Alabama News.Net story.)
Hubbard was sentenced to four years in prison and eight years probation for violating the same ethics laws that he bragged about passing. He was convicted three years ago.
He has not spent any time behind bars.
