In the latest update on a long drawn-out story…

Former Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely, who was convicted of theft and ethics charges last year, is asking an Alabama appeals court to once again consider his appeal.

In a filing Friday, Blakely’s attorneys assert the court should withdraw its previous opinion and reconsider Mr. Blakely’s convictions for a number of reasons.

Blakely was sentenced to three years in a county jail, and is currently free on bond, pending this latest appeal. If he is denied again, he can still appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court.
