Siegelman Released by Appellate Court, Will Appear Before Congress

The Appeals court has ordered former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman released from prison pending his appeal. They overturned the ruling of his judge at trial, Mark E. Fuller, who is also a political foe of the former governor.

He's been in custody for some time, one of the reasons that Judge Fuller has dragged his feet on releasing the transcript, without which you can't even start filing an appeal.

Also, the House Judiciary Committee is requesting his testimony.
