Siegelman's jailing backed by legal logic
by Francis Coleman of Mobile Press Register
....So it's clear that Judge Fuller didn't act capriciously or politically
when he ordered Mr. Siegelman and Mr. Scrushy to prison. His
decision is backed by sound legal arguments. A jury of his peers put
Mr. Siegelman behind bars after determining that he was guilty as
charged. If the jury was wrong or the justice system didn't play fair, let
the appeals court overturn the convictions.
In the meantime, the public can rest assured that Judge Fuller made
a logical decision when he sent Mr. Siegelman and Mr. Scrushy
directly to prison.

Fuller Makes Siegelman's Case for Him
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
....Here's an easy way to sum it up:
* The key question is: Does the appeal raise a substantial question
of law or fact that, if found in the defendant's favor, would result in
reversal or an order for a new trial.
* Fuller's own words show there is a substantial question of law on
both key charges--federal-funds bribery and honest-services mail
fraud.

Appeals court refuses to release Scrushy on
appeal bond
by Bob Johnson of Associated Press
A federal appeals court said former HealthSouth CEO Richard
Scrushy was a possible flight risk Monday as it refused to allow him
out of federal prison on bond while his bribery conviction is being
appealed.
In a brief order, 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judges Gerald
Tjoflat and R. Lanier Anderson said they agreed with an earlier
opinion by U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller of Montgomery that
Scrushy had not proven "by clear and convincing evidence that he is
is unlikely to flee" if released from prison.
