From Andrew Kreig: The Fox Business News interview yesterday with former Gov. Siegelman was largely sympathetic. I appended highlights and a link to my most Huffington Post article (<http://snipurl.com/rqlp6>http://snipurl.com/rqlp6]), with an excerpt here:
Siegelman said his co-defendant resisted offers of a plea bargain if he would falsely state that his donations to the educational foundation were a bribe. "Scrushy could have thrown me under the bus at any time he wanted, and walked out of the court a free man," Siegelman said. "Richard Scrushy is in prison today for something he absolutely didn't do." My overall take: The questions by the Fox host illustrated a high level of understanding -- and why this prosecution remains so controversial.
