Former Alabama House Speaker Hubbard Sentenced
Former Alabama House Speaker Mike Hubbard was sentenced to four years in prison last week for 12 felony ethics convictions handed down by a jury last month.
Lee County Circuit Judge Jacob Walker also sentenced Hubbard to eight years on probation and ordered him to pay $210,000 in fines.
