Former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell will begin serving his 2 1/2 year sentence on August 21st. Campbell’s request to stay free while appealing his sentence was denied last week by Judge Richard Story. Story noted that Campbell “as not shown the existence of a substantial question likely to result in reversal, a new trial, or a reduction in his sentence.”
Campbell will serve his sentence at the federal minimum security prison camp in Miami. Campbell, besides prison time, was fined $6,300 and ordered to pay $63,000 in back taxes.
