MONTGOMERY—On Thursday, the State filed its Brief In Support Of Sentencing Recommendation for Mike Hubbard, who will be sentenced on July 8, for 12 felony counts of public corruption.
The State recommends Hubbard be sentenced on each of his 12 felony Ethics Law convictions to an 18-year base sentence, split to serve 5 years in prison, followed by a term of supervised probation equal to the time remaining. It also asked the Court to require Hubbard to pay $1,125,000.00 in restitution (Hubbard’s ill-gotten gain); the maximum fine of $360,000.00 ($30,000.00 per count); the maximum amount to the Crime Victim’s Compensation Fund, $120,000.00 ($10,000.00 per count); and court costs and fees as determined by this Court.
The State further requests that Hubbard be denied an appeal bond and require him to immediately begin serving his sentence. Hubbard has been out on bond since October 21, 2014, some 619 days ago. The brief states, “After a year-long grand jury investigation, a year and a half long pretrial litigation period, and following a 3-week trial, the jury spoke clearly and strongly by convicting Hubbard on 12 counts.”
In these matters, Judge Jacob Walker, III, will have final say. There are still those who believe Hubbard will receive a light sentence and be allowed to remain free on bond while awaiting his appeal.
