Robert Urciuoli, who formerly served as president at Roger Williams Medical Center in Providence, R.I., is seeking a reversal of two corruption convictions, according to a report by the WJTV.
Mr. Urciuoli contests that the scope of law was limited during his prosecution in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Mr. Urciuoli was convicted of bribing a state politician in an attempt to bring the hospital's legislative agenda to the forefront. He was initially convicted under the "honest services" fraud statue, but the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that the statute only related to cases of kickbacks and bribes, according to WJTV.
