Alexandria Samuel at 3:12 PM ET

[JURIST] New York state appeals judge Angela Mazzarelli [official profile] Monday denied a bail request by two former Tyco International [JURIST news archive] executives, a decision that will keep the men in jail during their appeal process. Former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski and CFO Kark Schwartz were convicted of grand larceny last month [JURIST report] and sentenced to 8-1/3 to 25 years in prison [JURIST report] for their roles in a scheme to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the corporation.
