Summary
The family statement said that the Bureau of Prisons “had no diagnosis or treatment plan in place” and Ebbers experienced a “rapid decline” in October, followed by multiple hospitalizations in November and December.While prosecutors agreed that Ebbers’ health had deteriorated in prison, they opposed an early release. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Cowley told the judge that such a move would send “a terrible message to the rule of law” because it would cut Ebbers’ sentence in half.The family statement acknowledged resistance to Ebbers’ early release from victims of WorldCom’s collapse, but said that many victims also expressed their support.“Many stockholders and employees lost their investments in the fall of WorldCom. Many of our friends — and many in our family — did too,” the statement read.
