Former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen is pleading his case today.

Jensen is trying to stay out of jail while he appeals his criminal conviction on four charges in the capitol corruption case. The Waukesha Republican has a hearing scheduled in Dane County Circuit Court on the issue.

He is due to start serving his 15-month prison term July 15 after being convicted by a jury following a three-week trial. He later resigned from his assembly seat.

Judge Steven Ebert is scheduled to hear from Jensen’s side and the prosecutors who want Jensen to start serving the prison time rather than remaining free on bond.
