Brian Kelsey to remain free pending appeal
Former Republican state Sen. Brian Kelsey, left, arrives at federal court, Nov. 22, 2022, in Nashville. Kelsey will be free until his appeal plays out after U.S. District Court Judge Waverly Crenshaw on Tuesday, Sept. 26, granted his request for bail. (Mark Humphrey/AP File)
The judge determined that Kelsey had raised a “substantial and close question that is integral to the merits of his convictions” and did not appeal for the sole purpose of delay.
