A real estate investor who got convicted along with former Orange Beach Mayor Steve Russo on public corruption charges will not have to go back to prison, a federal judge in Mobile ruled today.

Magnolia Springs resident Ken Wall already has served the year-and-a-day sentence that U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose imposed last year. But the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to Mobile earlier this year after determining that the judge improperly dismissed a conspiracy count that the jury had found Wall guilty of.
