al.com: NewsFlash - Former Alabama governor ...
Story still developing, but it looks like the Montgomery grand jury has indicted both Don Siegelman and Richard Scrushy on racketeering charges.
UPDATE: Here's the DOJ press release:
U.S. Newswire : Releases : "Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, Others Indicted..."
30 counts. Defendants in addition to Siegelman and Scrushy are two former Siegelman aides, Michael Hamrick (his chief of staff) and Gary Roberts (the former DOT director). Scrushy was actually named in a sealed indictment in May, during his last trial.

I'm sure it's political persecution of Don and religious persecution of Richard -- because they're both such upstanding citizens....
Please, please, please nail them both this time.

Other commonalities twixt Don and Dick: Don got off on the first set of charges thanx to the ministrations of Judge "I-dodged-fraud-rap-my-ownself" UW Clemon, who, in "sticking it to the man" and playing faves with a Dem politico, prevented the prosecutors' case from going to the jury. Dick was the beneficiary of jury nullification, most likely as a result of his baloney "man of God" defense. Both of 'em gamed the system.
