LONDON (AP) - Former British Cabinet minister Chris Huhne and his ex-wife Vicky Pryce have been freed from prison after each serving two months of their eight-month sentences.
The pair had been convicted of charges stemming from a 2003 speeding ticket. Ms Pryce had told authorities that she was driving even though her then-husband was at the wheel.
58-year-old Huhne had pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. Ms Pryce, 60, was convicted after a trial.
She said in a statement on Friday that she was pleased to be home and looked forward to returning to her career as an economist.
Mr Huhne, a former Energy Secretary, did not offer an immediate comment. But many experts say his political career has been virtually destroyed by the speeding ticket scandal.
