Alabama ? A federal judge on Monday scheduled a hearing to determine if jurors who convicted former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy of corruption improperly considered information from the Internet or other outside sources.

U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller said in an order that he decided to call the Nov. 17 hearing based on a juror’s testimony last week that members of the panel violated his instructions while deliberating.

The two defendants were convicted in June on bribery and conspiracy charges. Prosecutors said Scrushy arranged $500,000 in contributions to Siegelman’s campaign for a statewide lottery in exchange for being appointed by Siegelman to a seat on an influential hospital regulatory board.
