This is long, so you'll probably not read it. But for those interested:
In 2005, Don Siegelman was charged with 32 counts of bribery just as he was beginning his bid for another term as governor. In 2006 he was found not guilty of 25 of those charges and guilty of seven.
He was led from the courtroom after sentencing IN SHACKLES. Now we're not talking about someone who committed murder or who had a history of violence. But the man was put in shackles! Normally in a case like this, the person stays free on bond pending appeal. But not Siegelman. The governor was whisked immediately out of the courtroom in shackles, and sent to several out of state jails.
Meanwhile, allegations were surfacing that the Dept. of Justice and Karl Rove had operated behind the scenes of this whole thing. So a few journalists began investigating, and came up with some evidence they found compelling. They tried to get it out to the public, but the MSM wouldn't report on it. (continued)
