[Update] - Valdosta, Ga. - Feb. 08, 2012 -

The former president and chief executive officer of Archbold Medical Center is denied a new trial.
Ken Beverly petitioned the court based on several assertions that the court abused its discretion, including in throwing out polygraph test results.
But the court ruled that there is overwhelming direct and circumstantial evidence in support of the jury's guilty verdict.
Beverly was found guilty of six counts in Valdosta U.S. District Court in December 2010.
