A judge revoked Beanie
Sigel’s bid to leave federal prison and enter into a drug rehabilitation and anger
management program, after the man he allegedly shot claimed he received daily
threats.
Terrence Speller,
who claims Sigel is the man who shot him in the stomach and foot at a Philadelphia
bar, testified that he and his girlfriend received daily threats against their
lives because of their cooperation regarding the trial.
Speller said that
none of them came directly from Sigel.
U.S. District Judge
R. Barclay Surrick had approved Sigel’s release to an undisclosed treatment
facility.
He ordered Sigel
to put up a $1,000,000 federal bond, $150,000 in cash, a house valued at $400,000
and four other properties.
Sigel has been
held without bail since July 14.
