Siegelman, Scrushy found guilty; Hamrick, Roberts acquittedMONTGOMERY – A federal jury has found former Gov. Don Siegelman guilty of seven of the 32 remaining criminal charges against him, and the panel found guilty on all counts the trial's other high-profile defendant, former HealthSouth Corp. Chairman Richard Scrushy. Former Siegelman Chief of Staff Paul Hamrick and former highway director Mack Roberts were found not guilty on all charges against them. The verdicts came on the 11th day of jury deliberations after a trial that began May 1. Two days earlier, the foreman said the 12 jurors were deadlocked, with some jurors refusing to discuss their positions. The government's case charged the defendants with a host of public corruption charges, and all but Roberts were accused of bribery. The jurors wound up convicting Siegelman of bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and mail fraud. Most of those charges were related to Scrushy and the state Certificate of Need Review Board, a panel that regulates hospital expansions. One charge related to a check written to an aide purportedly to cover partial costs of a motorcycle. Siegelman, a 60-year-old Mobile native, was acquitted on counts of conspiracy, mail fraud and obstruction of justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I hope they do more then just fine them and make them pay restitution and put them on probation. I hope they both serve jail time, especially Skrewshy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,034 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You can be guaranteed an appeal for both. The appeal could drop some or all of the convictions, or even call for a new trial couldn't it? Personally I feel they were convicted by a jury of their peers. Not that those "peers" receive or give bribes. Esquire, LegalEagle any other attorneys, what should be expected now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
