One of the attorneys accused of taking money from clients in a multi-million dollar diet-drug settlement case is out of jail. Shirley Cunningham, 52, was released on bond from the Boone County jail on Wednesday.
He had been held in custody for more than a year after a federal judge had set his bond at $45 million. Last Friday, the bond was reset to $1.25 million.
Another attorney in the case, William Joseph Gallion remained in custody on Wednesday evening. His bond was reset last week to $2.5 million from $52 million.
A third attorney charged in the case was acquitted at a trial earlier this year.
