Former Governor Siegelman and Richard Scrushy Sentenced

posted Friday, 29 June 2007
Former Governor Siegelman was sentenced to 88 months (7.4 years) 3 years probation , and a 50,000+ in fines (total 181,000 in restitution), substance abuse treatment, and  500 hours of community service  and Richard Scrushy was sentenced to 82 months 6.8 years, 3 years probation, 150k fines, 267K restitution   . (They were found guilty of Bribery and Conspiracy.) The mighty fall and justice is done.  I don't know what was fair but it was clear they both had great lawyers and powerful forces lined up against them.  Based on the limited amount I followed the case it looks like justice was done.
