Disgraced economist Al Parish did the crime when he bilked $66 million out of nearly 600 investors. But he doesn't want to do the time, at least not all of his 24-year sentence. The former Charleston Southern University economist, who last month was handed the lengthy federal prison term after pleading guilty to a massive case of fraud, is planning to appeal the sentence, said Andy Savage, the lawyer for his criminal case. Savage filed notice Tuesday in federal court that he intends to appeal the sentence to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va. He said the move reserves Parish's right to appeal. Now, Parish's legal representatives will review the case for "any mistakes that may have been made in imposing the sentence." Read more in tomorrow's editions of The Post and Courier. |
