AL.com commenter, mayleneman, says:

Unbelieveable !! [sic] My opinion of Don Siegelman is very simple - Republican or Democrat is you better wash your hands after shaking hands with him. He is a greasy dishonest crook and is lower than a car salesman. AMost [sic] politicians are crooks - Don Siegelman just got caught !!! And that does not quality as a ‘Political Prosecution” !!

I wonder how Mayleneman feels about the treasonous Scooter Libbey getting a free pass from serving any prison time?

Yes, two wrongs don’t make a right. But Scooter Libbey WAS GUILTY. In Don Siegelman’s case, there’s a high probability of “possible political influence over his prosecution.” And because of that, the man should be given a real trial.

Siegelman to be released from prison

Former Gov. Don Siegelman will be released from prison, after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals granted him an appeal bond, the lead prosecutor in the case said.

Acting U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin said he received a courtesy call from the court today. “He’s going to be released,” Franklin said.

He said he was disappointed but added, “The 11th Circuit has the discretion to do that, and I respect that.”
