Alabama Republican House Speaker convicted on 12 felony charges
A Lee County jury today convicted Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard on 12 felony charges in his ethics case, removing Hubbard from office.
Hubbard, 54, was convicted after a jury spent seven hours deliberating whether he used his public position for personal gain.
Hubbard faces up to 20 years in prison for each ethics count. Sentencing is set for July 8.
Hubbard was immediately taken into custody and placed in the Lee County jail.
He was released on $160,000 bond Friday night and driven away by a bail bondsman, according to the Associated Press.
The conviction came after a 12-day trial in which Hubbard took the stand for three days in his own defense.
