Will be following this case...
Talkleft:
Larisa Alexandrovna and Muriel Kane of Raw Story have the first of a multi-part series today on how Republican heavyweights sent former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman to jail.
RAW STORY Investigates has decided to focus a series of reports, interviews, and investigative pieces over the next several weeks on Siegelman’s case. At the very least, the investigation will illuminate an incestuous pool of corruption in Alabama, with government officials, lobbyists, attorneys, and even judges behaving in ways that breach the public trust.
Their timeline of the prosecution is here. Part One is entitled, Don Siegelman, political prisoner.
The idea that a prominent politician -- a former state governor -- could be tried on charges that many observers consider to be trumped-up, convicted in a trial that involved numerous questionable procedures, and then hauled off to prison in shackles immediately upon sentencing would be almost unbelievable. But there is such a politician: Don Siegelman, Democratic governor of Alabama from 1999 to 2003.

There were alot of Law Makers involved in this other then Karl Rove. Don't be surprised if you hear Lott's name come up. He's up to his neck in all the mess. But he did get the tax payers to build his second home that Katrina destroyed, yes it was rebuild even better then it was thanks to his friend George W. Bush. Let's see how Mikie handles this crime of sending Siegelman to jail on false information and a set up.
