Surprised there's been no thread about this.

I don't think anyone other than Boss Tweed still cares about Siegelman.

I thought the sentencing was tomorrow.
From the AP
At a hearing today in Montgomery, Ala., U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller sentenced Siegelman to 88 months in prison, and ordered him to pay $50,000 in fines. Siegelman was convicted by a federal jury in June 2006 of seven counts -- bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, four counts of honest services mail fraud, and obstruction of justice.

Scrushy was sentenced to 82 months in prison and fined $150,000. Scrushy was convicted of six counts -- bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services mail fraud, and four counts of honest services mail fraud.

Surprised it's not longer; if it were you or I we would have gotten the 25-30 years recommended.

I don't know much about the specifics of his case and I only recently read 2 NYT articles about and from what I read, there is some fishy business going on that needs to be looked at. Also, this practice, what was behind his conviction, is used in pretty much every US State.

Wasn't he totally supposed to be running for Governor?

Hopefully we can draft him for 2010.

That's a great record to run on.
