1. Alabama's Economy is Imploding Under
Bob Riley
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
What does this say about the Rileys as human beings? Multiple
sources have told Legal Schnauzer that Rob Riley is an overgrown
spoiled brat. Our sources say that when Junior doesn't get his way, he
is noted for essentially saying, "My daddy's the governor, and I can
pick up the phone and call so-and-so to make sure things turn out the
way I want them to." That can mean costing some troublesome person
his job. That can mean applying the screws to an insurance company
to make sure one of Riley's fly-by-night businesses gets a favorable
deal--one it doesn't deserve. Other sources say Little Rob learned
this sort of childish, and unlawful, behavior from Big Bob himself, who
reportedly has pulled such stunts for years.
But here is an interesting question: Will one or more of the Rileys
eventually step in doo-doo they can't get out of it? Will the Rileys
someday screw with the wrong person or persons?

2. Supreme Court drops key case on limits of
immunity for prosecutors
By Warren Richey for the Christian Science Monitor
The US Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a case over whether
prosecutors who knowingly procure false testimony that leads to a
wrongful conviction can later be sued for damages.
t Supreme Court: Can prosecutors be sued for framing defendants?
Supreme Court appears split on tackling rogue prosecutors
.Lawyers announced that the parties in the underlying lawsuit had
agreed to end the case in a $12 million settlement.
The two innocent men, Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee, had
spent nearly 26 years in prison for a murder they didn’t commit. After
the truth was discovered and they were released, they sued the
prosecutors in Pottawattamie County, Iowa.
