OPELIKA—Judge Jacob Walker, III, officially filed Michael G. Hubbard’s sentence with Alacourt on Wednesday.
Hubbard was found guilty on 12 charges of using his office for personal gain on June 10. Judge Walker handed down his sentence on Hubbard for a total of 96 years, 21.5 month split sentence and 76.5 years probation. All but two of the sentences run concurrent to the others.
Judge Walker gave Hubbard a split sentence resulting in an actual 4 years confinement, 16 years probation and $220,000 in fines, plus other court costs. With this sentence, there is no early release for good behavior or chance of parole available.
