The U.S. Supreme Court says Bernard Ebbers, former CEO at WorldCom, will remain in prison to serve out his 25-year sentence.

The court turned down an appeal by Ebbers today without comment. The appeal was based on Ebbers’ belief he did not receive a fair trial because potential defense witnesses were not offered immunity as were prosecution witnesses.

Ebbers is serving out his term at the Oakdale Federal Correction Complex, in Oakdale, La.

In July, Ebbers had to report to prison after a U.S. Court of Appeals upheld his original conviction, which was handed down in September 2005.
