Federal prosecutors have recommended that former Alabama governor, Don Siegelman, be sentenced to 20 years in prison when he receives a new sentencing hearing in federal court in Montgomery.
That's a much longer sentence than the more than seven-year prison term Siegelman originally received for his 2006 conviction in a federal government corruption case.
The recommendation comes after a panel of three appellate judges dismissed two of the seven charges the former governor was convicted of and ordered a new sentencing hearing.
Prosecutors made the recommendation in a letter to federal probation officers. The probation officers will prepare a report recommending a new sentence to U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller.
