(ONN) – A federal appeals court is standing by its decision and won’t be taking another look at the corruption conviction of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder.

Householder’s legal team argued jurors were given faulty instructions in the racketeering trial tied to a $60 million bribery scheme involving FirstEnergy and House Bill 6.

But the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied that request, saying the issues had already been fully considered.

Householder is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
