Nick Bovis, implicated in the San Francisco City Hall bribery scandal, is being released early from prison due to inadequate medical care for his severe blood pressure issues. US District Judge William H. Orrick granted his request for home confinement, expressing dissatisfaction with the prison's failure to meet health standards. Bovis's attorneys highlighted life-threatening treatment after medication changes led to serious symptoms, including transient ischemic attacks. Despite his corruption, the judge acknowledged that Bovis's medical care was unacceptably poor under custody conditions.
Bovis' underlying criminal conduct was motivated by avarice and arrogance and his public corruption injured the public in a significant way.
The treatment by the Bureau of Prisons at FCI Florence has been incomprehensible and very far below the standards that I expect for anyone held in custody.
The prison medical team's treatment had become life-threatening for Bovis, and Judge Orrick agreed.
Bovis had been seeking a spot at SFO for his Spinnerie rotisserie chicken concept.
