Uh-oh. Run for cover. The gates swung open today. Run and hide. The Appellate Court’s ruling reached the same conclusions that would have been raised before Judge Fuller by Hiram Eastland, had he been allowed to address the court before Siegelman and Scrushy were hustled out a side door last summer: There were substantial problems with facts and law. Uh-oh. According to the BOP website, Don Siegelman’s current residence is in Oklahoma City, OK. Still on the move: His odyssey may have begun when he had the audacity to win the election back in 1998, or perhaps it was the lottery defeat or the surreptitious nature of having votes changed in the second election. Or maybe it was the first indictment or the second one, or the long primary-spanning trial followed by the verdict and a three day sentencing hearing. It just went on and on and on. But the sentencing wasn’t the end of it. First he was shipped overnight to Atlanta, and then off to points unknown in another midnight move, kind of like their sneaking Al Capone around or like their dragging him through the streets of a nation in an endless perp-walk. His lawyers say that he is destined for Texarkana, but he is now apparently housed in Oklahoma City. |
