The hearing started this morning in federal court in Montgomery. Yesterday’s Birmingham News reported that it could last several days, characterizing it as a “mini-trial”.
All I have to say right now is if Randy “Duke” Cunningham skated away with only eight years and four months in prison for his multimillion-dollar bribery and corruption scheme (from which he personally benefitted handsomely) then there’s no way in hell Don Siegelman deserves 30 years in the pen.
