I will make you laugh. I ran into DS one time. At a Post Office of all places!!!!! Mail Fraud!!!!! I had to laugh at the irony.
Honestly, I thought for sure their teflon was going to work for them. I am shocked, I tell you.

"Guess Scrushy's "I was born a poor black child" defense didn't work this time." I've been following that defence, it's so funny.

I think that the jury nullifiers finally wore out. I heard that the judge sent them back yesterday with an instruction that if they couldn't agree to start all over again. Guess giving up the holiday weekend wasn't worth it for them after all.

"I thought for sure this was going to be an "O.J." type jury because of the statements that some jury members would not even disucss it in their deliberations." I was worried. BTW, Hamrick and Roberts are guilty too.

Well I guess LUCY BAXLEY just lost two votes in November.
Good to see Scrushy finally find one he couldn't wiggle out of, and Seigleman should be glad this is all they have come up with on him.

Yeah, I'd heard before from some in AL that they didn't think Scrushy would be convicted. Good to see crooks go down.
And I heard he ran the old Cup 'O Pizza guy out of business.

A jury that could not be bought off. And at least a couple of jurors that couldn't give up their weekend whether or not they were bought off.

No mention of party affiliation. Now if they were Republicans it would've read:
"Former REPUBLICAN AL Gov. SoAndSo CONVICTED of CORRUPTION."
