Siegelman and HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy brought Grimes to
a career crisis.

| Whistle Blower Tamara Grimes was fired from her job. "I have always considered myself to be a moderate Republican,” she said. “I believe in the U.S. Constitution, and that what happened in Montgomery with the Siegelman/Scrushy prosecution is a travesty of justice." |
