1.Siegelman's Second Appeal Focuses on
"Explicit" Nature of Bribery Law
by Roger Shuler for Daily Kos
....A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit upheld the Siegelman and
Scrushy convictions on corruption-related charges in U.S. District
Court in Montgomery, Alabama. But attorneys for Sieglman and
Scrushy argue that trial-judge Mark Fuller did not issue jury
instructions that require an explicit "something for something"
agreement, and evidence presented to the jury showed that no such
agreement existed.
If the three-judge panel's ruling is allowed to stand, Siegelman said,
prosecutors will be able to pick and choose their targets among
contributors and elected officials.....
