: Legal Pad | LAWilkes released during appeal to bribery conviction
By Jason Siegel
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals released former defense contractor Brent Wilkes on bail while he appeals his bribery conviction and 12-year sentence, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Lawyers and law professors told media outlets that it was unusual and likely good news for Wilkes that the 9th Circuit reversed U.S. District Court Judge Larry Burns' decision about bond.
The appeals court said Wilkes' appeal raises a "substantial question" that may lead to a reversal, a new trial or a sentence without imprisonment, KPBS news reported. (LISTEN)
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors are considering appealing the trial courts sentence claiming federal sentencing guidelines were incorrectly applied. They're trying to get a sentence between 16 and 25 years.
