The appeal of former Georgia Senator Charles Walker has been rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court did not comment on its decision.
Walker is serving a ten-year prison sentence for his conviction on tax evasion, mail fraud, and conspiracy charges. The Augusta Democrat and former Senate majority leader was convicted in 2005 on 127 counts.
Walker's lawyers had argued that the federal grand jury was unfairly stacked against him, the sentence was too long, and key prosecution evidence was not presented.
