A bipartisan group of 54 former state attorneys general from across the country has filed a federal appeals brief supporting former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman's bid to overturn his criminal conviction.
Saying the prosecution and sentencing of Siegelman "raised serious First Amendment concerns," the brief asks the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Siegelman's conviction.
Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy were convicted in 2006 of bribery and other charges. Prosecutors accused Siegelman of appointing Scrushy to an influential hospital regulatory board in exchange for Scrushy arranging for $500,000 in donations to Siegelman's campaign for a statewide lottery.

Good grief, what WILL it take to bring down Rover? Must I repeat??
Will it take a revelation or a revolution?
We'll long be dead while Rove continues cheating, lying, playing cut-throat politics, smiling for the camera, rolling in the money compliments of Mainstream Tabloid Spook/Nazi-News.
Neither this country nor its justice system was designed for honest people. Only criminals have rights and publishers love to pay for the stories.
Rove's in his element. He's only just begun.
Thank HEAVEN for the Internet. Keep it freeeeeeeee so we don't have to watch Mainstream tabloid international news and psychobabble.
