I sat there in court watched and listened as the court unfolded against an honest and ever bit a hero of a politican. Judge Fuller DID NOT give the defense an equal chance, he over-ruled on the majority of the objections(in other words, SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! The prosecution was NOT over-ruled on their objections. Fuller, do you have a grudge against Siegelman? Could it be from years back? Why then Fuller did you not recuse yourself from this trial? Why did you have these two respected men shackled and rushed out of the courtroom before family and friends had a chance to hug or say something to them? Then to fly Don all over the United States, were you showing your authority? Feaga, seems to me you thought that you were on a Gotti trial! I got the impression from what you said right behind me and the way that you were appearing you were a class arrogant prosecutor! Maybe you could let the people know why the intensity with the feds pursued Don and Scrushy. Could it be there is a pattern of investigating Democrats, especially a prominent Don Siegelman? The character witnesses were very intelligent and came from great distances for these two men. Louis Franklin, in response to your comments about the case afterwards. Yes, Franklin, the public has a right to know the truth in regards to who gave the orders to pursue, the intensity and why. We also as supporters and citizens believe there should be an investigation and we want to know why the Department of Justice wants more time to produce the documents. The Appeals court should demand answers, as should Congress. Do we think that Don Siegelman and Richard Scrushy received a fair trial? Absolutely NO! We the supporters will continue to stand by these men to the end, for we believe in them. Yes, Fuller, Feaga and Franklin you can call this an orchestrated campaign if you would like to. We call it standing by two innocent men who were caught up in a political prosecution. You may call us "Monday- morning quarterback" writers or any other thing that makes you feel good. We are citizens that are entitled to voice our opinion as we have seen and heard about the entire case. I am a dedicated woman to a good, honest politician who was and can be again one helluva Governor for Alabama and the people. He was just not in there long enough, thanks to the under-handed political strategy. I also must say, Richard Scrushy impressed me, when I met him, as being a nice, religious businessman who was only making a contribution because like he said, "I believed in Don Siegelman and what he could do for the state." I sat there and cried all day that last day, this was the most heart-breaking thing that I have ever witnessed in a courtroom. This man needs to be returned to the people of Alabama and to his family! The Three F’s: Fuller, Feaga and Franklin are to themselves, suppose to be true heroes.
