OUR VIEW: A political prosecution?

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Don Siegelman, a former governor of Alabama, was released last month pending his appeal of a conviction on bribery and corruption charges. The conviction has been the focus of controversy in recent months, primarily over allegations that it was politically motivated. While we are not in a position to comment on the verdict, the case certainly raises some red flags, and the 11th Circuit seems justified in having released Siegelman pending appeal.
