RedEye's Week in Review



Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman was back in Federal Court this week.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A federal judge says he will rule later on a request by attorneys for former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy that he order government prosecutors to turn over a number of documents related to their prosecution.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Coody held a more than three-hour hearing Wednesday on the requests by Siegelman and Scrushy to release documents relating to the recusal from the case of former U.S. Attorney Leura Canary and allegations of misconduct by jurors who found Siegelman and Scrushy guilty of bribery. The attorneys also want documents related to charges of misconduct by prosecutors.

Siegelman and Scrushy were convicted in 2006 of federal bribery charges. They have asked for a new trial and say the documents are needed to argue that motion.


Sigh Legal Schnauzer compares Governor Siegelman's actions to republican Mike Hubbard, while in an in-depth interview with Siegelman Glynn Wilson compares what happened to him with Texas Governor Rick Perry. I compare what is happening to Governor Siegelman to what happened to Troy Davis. An innocent man, wrongfully convicted, hoping for justice from the justice system. I pray the outcomes aren't the same. BTW, I thought Candidate Obama said he was going to end Scooter Libby Justice?

Herman Cain says if a third woman accuses you of sexual harassment raise some more money. It doesn't look like Mrs. Cain is going to stand by her man on Fox News. I wonder why? And who really cares what Artur Davis has to say about this or anything else?

republicans hate Obama more than they love America. FACT. What gets me, is they think that is a winning strategy for them.
