1. Court decision seen as good sign for
Siegelman
AP article published on WRCTV.com
...Attorneys for former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and former
HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy see a positive sign in the U.S.
Supreme Court's decision to hear the appeal of former Enron CEO
Jeff Skilling.
Like Skilling, some of the charges against Siegelman and Scrushy
involved "honest services" counts, which make it a crime to deprive
the public of "the intangible right to honest services."
Siegelman attorney Sam Heldman said the fact that the Supreme
Court has agreed to hear three different cases involving "honest
services" charges is a sign that the law is "broad and confusing."
