Remember when the Dems tried to use the convictions of my former governor (whom I voted for) Don Siegleman and his cohort Scrushy up as examples of the devil Karl Rove is and how the Rep's were using their power to go after Democras and the embarrassing hearings they held to try and prove that Rove and forced US Attorney's to prosecute this case?

Siegelman Appeal: Court Upholds Most Charges

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A federal appeals court upheld most of the bribery and corruption charges Friday against former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and all the charges against former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta struck down two of the seven charges that Siegelman was convicted of and ordered a new sentencing hearing. That means Siegelman's seven-year sentence could be reduced.
He won't get off entirely: The court upheld key bribery, conspiracy and obstruction counts against him in what prosecutors described as a scheme that put Scrushy on a state hospital regulatory board when he was at the helm of HealthSouth. The court upheld all six counts against Scrushy and his sentence of almost seven years.
