Former Covington County Probate Judge Sherrie Phillips has been denied an early release from prison.Circuit Judge Charles Price turned down her request in a one-paragraph order.
Price sentenced her to three years in prison after she was convicted of the theft of $1.8 million from an estate and using her position for unlawful personal gain. She's due to get out in October 2012.
Her attorney, David Harrison, sought an early release on grounds she had reformed and her release would save money.
The Department of Corrections says she's serving her sentence at a community-based work facility in Montgomery.

Hooray!
October 2012 is really too soon for what she did.
Circuit Judge Charles Price has my admiration for taking a firm position and for not buying Former Covington County Probate Judge Sherrie Phillips story that she is reformed. I wish her misery which she richly deserves. Keep in mind this is one time she got caught and the prosecutors were able to prove their case you can be certain others were also victimized by this former judge and her gang of thieves.
$1.8 million? How was she able to steal that much before getting caught?
Hats off to the judge for turning Sherri Phillips down!
