Attorneys for former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy told a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Court of Appeals their client should get a new trial on government corruption charges.
Scrushy and former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman were found guilty in a 2006 trial in federal court in Montgomery.
Scrushy's attorney Art Leach said that his client is entitled to a new trial.
Scrushy has completed his prison sentence and is now living in Houston. He did not attend Tuesday's hearing. Siegelman is serving a prison term in Louisiana.
Prosecutors alleged that Scrushy bought a seat on a state hospital regulatory board by arranging $500,000 in donations to Siegelman's campaign for a statewide lottery.
Scrushy's lawyers say the trial judge erred in denying Scrushy's motions and related discovery requests.
