Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: The Don Siegelman Case

Well, it now appears that in addition to the fact that Leura G. Canary, the U.S. Attorney in Montgomery, was having regular contacts with the prosecutors, despite having "recused" herself from the prosecution, it now appears that prosecutors had ex-parte communications with the jurors:

Next month in Atlanta, a federal court will hear the high-profile appeal of former Alabama governor Don E. Siegelman, whose conviction on corruption charges in 2006 became one of the most publicly debated cases to emerge from eight years of controversy at the Bush Justice Department. Now new documents highlight alleged misconduct by the Bush-appointed U.S. attorney and other prosecutors in the case, including what appears to be extensive and unusual contact between the prosecution and the jury.

(emphasis mine)

It does not get any more unethical and illegal in a case than this. There were contacts, which are generally unethical, and they went unreported to the judge and the defense, which is illegal.

We need to to reform our drug laws in order to make space for Bush and His Evil Minions^&trade, because they all need to go to prison, and not a country club prison, but, to quote Office Space, a, "Pound me in the Ass." prison.
