COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A former health care executive facing trial in a wants to be released from jail so he can have more time to prepare his defense.
Lance Poulsen, former president of National Century Financial (other-otc: CYFL.PK - news - people ) Enterprises near Columbus, says he's only getting access to a work room at the Ross County jail in southern Ohio for two hours a day and no time on weekends.
U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley last month denied Poulsen's request for house arrest but ordered a room be reserved for use eight hours a day, seven days a week.
A message was left with the jail seeking comment.
Former executives of National Century are currently on trial. Poulsen faces a witness-tampering trial next month and his own fraud trial in August.
